From Dandy Don today:
"In broader college sports news, the long-awaited “Participation Agreement” from the College Sports Commission (CSC) was delivered to power-conference schools yesterday. This is the new enforcement framework tied to the massive antitrust settlement (often referred to as the House case) and the upcoming revenue-sharing model in college athletics.
Under the agreement, schools in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 must waive their right to file lawsuits against the CSC and agree to follow its new rules on roster limits, NIL oversight, revenue-share compliance, and booster involvement. In short, the CSC will now have the authority to levy penalties for attempts to circumvent the new quasi–salary cap — including fines, loss of revenue distribution, transfer-limit reductions, roster-spot reductions and, in more serious cases, limited postseason bans.
All 68 power-conference schools must sign the agreement for it to take effect, and they’ll reportedly have two weeks to do so. As Ross Dellenger notes, this is the most significant centralized enforcement step we’ve seen in the modern NIL era, and it will shape how roster management and athlete compensation are handled for the next decade."
