Today, the NCAA and the five autonomy conferences released a joint statement on the agreement of settlement terms.“The five autonomy conferences and the NCAA agreeing to settlement terms is an important step in the continuing reform of college sports that will provide benefits to student-athletes and provide clarity in college athletics across all divisions for years to come. This settlement is also a roadmap for college sports leaders and Congress to ensure this uniquely American institution can continue to provide unmatched opportunity for millions of students. All of Division I made today’s progress possible, and we all have work to do to implement the terms of the agreement as the legal process continues.&nbsp;We look forward to working with our various student-athlete leadership groups to write the next chapter of college sports.”– Joint Statement from NCAA President Charlie Baker, ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D., Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark, Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey
