The current college football season enters its third weekend with something that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago: universities cutting actual paychecks to star players. Thanks to the $2.8 billion House v. NCAA settlement approved in June, schools can now share up to $20.5 million of their revenue directly with players across all college sports this year. That figure will climb by at least 4% annually over the decade-long agreement.

Luis, a 6-ft. 7-in. junior, was the top player in the transfer market, receiving starting offers in the $3 million to $4 million range for college opportunities.
