Why is the NCAA proposing a new subdivision? Explaining the related legal battles

In early December, Ohio attorney general Dave Yost fired off a zinger in a press release: “The ‘AA’ in NCAA might as well stand for ‘arbitrary and atrocious.’” The comment was directed at what the politician believed was an unlawful transfer rule by the NCAA, which requires non-graduate, multi-time transfer athletes to sit out a season of competition before being eligible to play for their new schools. In the two years since Alston, a flurry of lawsuits and legal action have been mounted against the NCAA, serving as a backdrop to the memo NCAA president Charlie Baker released last month proposing the creation of a new subdivision within DI athletics that would allow the highest-resourced programs to directly compensate athletes through a trust fund and/or in-house NIL agreements. “The whole reason we’re in this situation is because the NCAA has done such a poor job the past 20 years,” said one industry source who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. Carter v. NCAA The case: Another federal antitrust lawsuit that was filed in December, it argues that rules prohibiting college athletes from receiving “pay for play” violate antitrust law.
