In a letter to NCAA Division I membership, NCAA president Charlie Baker is proposing to create a new subdivision within Division I – the highest level in collegiate athletics – for schools to directly compensate athletes.
This would be a departure from previous practice. Baker, the former governor of Massachusetts who became NCAA president earlier this year, outlined a proposal for the “highest resourced” colleges and universities to invest in their athletes directly.
....
First, within the framework of Title IX, invest at least $30,000 per year into an enhanced educational trust fund for at least half of the institution’s eligible student-athletes.
Second, committ to work with their peer institutions in this subdivision to create rules that may differ from the rules in place for the rest of Division I. Those rules could include a wide range of policies, such as scholarship commitment and roster size, recruitment, transfers or NIL.
