[URL='https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/03/19/college-sports-joins-the-marketplace-with-limits/']judge's decision against the ncaa and in favor of athletes[/URL] strips power away from the ncaa and grants it to the conferences.  which will further separate the p5 from the rest:

[INDENT][I](Judge) Wilken’s ruling was a major, though far from total, victory for the college athletes. She granted much of their requested relief: delegating to the athletic conferences, in place of the NCAA, the power to set any scholarship caps for the schools in their conferences. But she also placed her own cap on that power, ruling that financial aid had to be tethered to an athlete’s “educational expenses.” Wilken was specific in defining what the conferences could provide to athletes above and beyond the cost of attending college: computers, music and scientific equipment, awards tied to academic performance, for graduating, tuition for attending graduate school and stipends for internships.[/I][/INDENT]

[INDENT][I]In addition, Wilken left the NCAA with some residual power: the ability to impose limits on academic and graduation incentives paid in cash and to cap benefits that are “incidental to participation” in college sports, such as bowl appearance awards, insurance for loss of professional value in case of injury, and travel allowances for family members to attend the Final Four.[/I][/INDENT]
