A federal judge has approved terms of a sprawling $2.8 billion antitrust settlement that will upend the way college sports have been run for more than a century.

NCAA member schools can compensate players across all sports beginning July 1, according to approval issued by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken.

The landscape of college sports has been altered forever. For the first time in the history of collegiate athletics, student-athletes will soon become eligible to be directly paid by their schools.
