The NCAA's multibillion-dollar antitrust settlement, allowing players to be paid from a revenue-sharing pool, will not deter ongoing efforts to unionize college athletes, according to union advocates. The settlement did not address the question of whether players are employees or student-athletes, prompting continued advocacy for collective bargaining. The NCAA and Power Five conferences have agreed on the settlement, while also lobbying Congress to pass legislation to shield them from future legal challenges and ensure that players are not classified as employees.
