In this episode of First and 12, we dive deep into the potential collapse of college athletics as we know it, following the monumental House v. NCAA settlement. With schools potentially facing $20 million annual payouts to athletes, programs across the Big 12, Group of Five (G5), and beyond are bracing for financial strain. We break down how this case could cripple athletic departments, force tough Title IX decisions, and even lead to the elimination of Olympic and non-revenue sports. Will this lawsuit signal the death of traditional college football and college athletics as we know them?
