Webinar #52 – Enforcement of NCAA Rules and NIL Enforcement in the New and Dynamic World of Intercollegiate Athletics Thursday, December 18, 2025 – 2:00pm-3:30 p.m. EST

This webinar addresses the increasing complexities of NCAA Enforcement, moving beyond traditional areas like recruiting and academic eligibility. The concept of amateurism is vanishing, and player compensation is rising, making rule monitoring and enforcement more challenging than ever. The future involves not only the NCAA but also the new College Sports Commission (CSC), established by the Power conferences to oversee and enforce limits on direct revenue sharing and roster sizes. How can the NCAA and CSC effectively enforce rules when the reward of winning often outweighs the risk of violations? Will future enforcement by either entity be an effective deterrent? This session explores the delicate balance between the “win-at-all-costs” environment, the chaotic NIL market, and the future revenue-sharing landscape. A panel of experts will discuss these seismic shifts, the role of the CSC in monitoring NIL and House settlement distributions, and how to build a competitive, fair, and sustainable future for college athletics.
