  + stars: | 2023-01-17 | by ( Rachel Bachman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
College football is one of the hottest properties in broadcasting. The Big Ten Conference recently made a deal for more than $1 billion a year with several networks, mostly to air its football games. The College Football Playoff is expected to grow substantially from its current $470 million-a-year deal when it expands to 12 teams after the 2024 season, and further increase the value under its next deal two years later. So when the National Collegiate Athletic Association said last week that increasing its revenue is a top goal, it may not have seemed like a major challenge. But that’s not the way things work in big-time college football, whose leading conferences legally aren’t required to share a dime of their burgeoning riches with the NCAA.

The National College Players Association, which brought the charges on behalf of 113 USC athletes, also could not be reached for comment.

☆ NCAA not liable in widow's $55 million concussion liability suit, jury says

The landmark case was the first to test whether the NCAA could be held liable for traumatic brain injuries suffered by players, lawyers said. “The NCAA bore no responsibility for Mr. Gee’s tragic death, and furthermore, the case was not supported by medical science linking Mr. Gee’s death to his college football career,” Bearby said. Alana Gee’s lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Alana Gee's lawyers said his substance abuse and health problems stemmed from CTE. Tests of Gee's brain tissue following his death concluded that he suffered from CTE and that this “likely contributed” to his cognitive decline, according to Alana Gee's November 2020 lawsuit.

Not long after, the NCAA voted to support an interim policy allowing college athletes to make money off of their name, image and likeness. But for the average college athlete playing at a mid-major Division I school, it doesn’t provide much in the way of cash. As ESPN’s Paul Finebaum told me, there are just too many people who care too much about their schools to let that happen.

The NCAA has a different scoring system than the Olympics and elite gymnastics and usually requires different routines. It wasn’t immediately clear if Lee plans to drop out of classes at Auburn as well or just stop competing for the gymnastics team. In her video, Lee encouraged young women to dream big just like she did to overcome her circumstances.
