The NCAA and its five power conferences reached a deal that includes a settlement of nearly $2.8 billion to be paid to thousands of former athletes — and creates a system allowing D1 schools to pay student-athletes. Ross Dellenger breaks down what this means for college sports.

@CBSNews @RossDellenger When are they going to pay students and grad students that do research that bring in billions in private and government grants to Universities every year? If we're basing this on who brings $ in those students should get paid as well!

@RossDellenger "Student athlete" is officially over. It's now pro teams just entertaining the students.

@RossDellenger I just hope that each athlete receives fin'l counseling, perhaps a brief video from older champs advising them to value the money rec'd. I think they deserve it; I worry about how they spend the money now plus who may wrongly influence them, may bring regrets later in life.

@RossDellenger Louisville wants the rights to hang their banners back up. @NCAA

@RossDellenger @RossDellenger telling everyone how IT IS for the new era of paying players!

@RossDellenger Time for athletes to unionize. @DCarlisto @nysut @AFTunion @NEAToday
