The NCAA's House settlement brings about a new era of college sports
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. 🚨 Headlines 🏆 Panthers 6, Oilers 1: The defending champs returned home in style, clobbering the Oilers in a physical Game 3 to seize control of the Stanley Cup Final. Tensions flared all night and ultimately led to a full-out brawl in the third period. Advertisement ⚾️ Final ticket punched: Murray State is headed to the College World Series for the first time ever after upsetting Duke, 5-4, to secure the final spot in the eight-team tournament. The action begins Friday in Omaha, Nebraska. 🏈 NFL succession: Ownership of the Colts has officially passed to Jim Irsay's three daughters in the wake of their father's death last month. The eldest daughter, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, will serve as principal owner and CEO as part of "longstanding plans set forth by Jim." 🥎 Historic viewership: Game 3 of the Women's College World Series final drew 2.4 million viewers on ESPN, making it the most-watched college softball game ever. Games 1 and 2 each drew 2.1 million viewers, the largest audience ever for the first two games. 🏈 Chubb to Houston: Four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb has agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans. It's a fresh start for Chubb after knee and foot injuries limited him to 10 games over the past two seasons. 🎓 A new era of college sports (Taylor Wilhelm/Yahoo Sports) The NCAA's landmark settlement of three antitrust cases was finally granted approval on Friday, ushering in a new era of college sports where schools will pay athletes directly. Advertisement Key details: Revenue sharing: Starting July 1, schools that opt into this new system (most D-I schools) can share up to a certain amount of revenue with athletes annually. The "cap" for Year 1 is projected to be $20.5 million and will go up from there. Enforcement: A new non-NCAA entity called the College Sports Commission will enforce revenue-sharing rules, while a Deloitte-run clearinghouse dubbed "NIL Go" will review contracts between athletes and third-parties (brands, boosters, etc). Backpay: The NCAA will pay thousands of former athletes (playing from 2016-2024) a whopping $2.8 billion in backpay from lost NIL compensation. Roster limits: Scholarship limits will be replaced with roster limits, with a caveat: Schools may grandfather-in current athletes, those who've been cut this year due to the impending limits and recruits who enrolled on the promise of a roster spot. The money, explained: From Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger: The cap is calculated by taking 22% of the average of certain power school revenues, most notably ticket sales, television dollars and sponsorships. In Year 1, the cap amount is projected to be $20.5 million. While each school is charged with determining how to distribute those funds, most power conference programs are planning to distribute 90% to football and men's basketball, as those are, for the most part, the only revenue-generating sports for an athletic department. In Year 1, that's about $13-16 million for a football roster and $2-4 million for men's basketball, with the remaining amount shared with women's basketball, baseball, volleyball and other Olympic sports. Advertisement While the 22% cap will remain the same through the 10-year settlement agreement, the cap money figure will rise based on built-in escalators (4% increase in Year 2 and Year 3), scheduled recalculations (after each third year) and additional cash flows into athletic departments. Ohio State AD Ross Bjork told Yahoo Sports this summer that he expects the cap to break $25 million by the time the Year 4 recalculation happens. What's next: The settlement's approval is the first in what many college leaders describe as a two-step process to bring stability to the landscape. Step 2: lawmakers producing a federal bill to codify the settlement terms and insulate the NCAA and its members from legal challenges. Five senators have been meeting regularly to discuss legislation, and a bill could be introduced in the House this week. ⚾️ Catch of the Year! (Tom Wilson/MLB Photos via Getty Images) Athletics rookie Denzel Clarke made one of the best catches you'll ever see on Monday night, scaling the wall at Angel Stadium and nearly launching his body over the fence to rob a home run. (John Cordes/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) On the call: "I've seen the list of the greatest catches you're ever going to see in your life. If you don't have room for this one, we're watching two different sports," said A's commentator Dallas Braden. Meanwhile, on the Angels broadcast: "He caught it!! I can't believe it!! How did he do it?!" (Tom Wilson/MLB Photos via Getty Images) Instant impact: Clarke is just 16 games into his big league career, and he's already submitted two entries for Catch of the Year. Monday's robbery came just three days after he put his body on the line to make this sensational catch. 📊 By the numbers Scheffler signs autographs for fans during Monday's U.S. Open practice round. () ⛳️ +275 Scottie Scheffler, who has won three of his past four starts, is an overwhelming +275 favorite (via BetMGM) to win this week's U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. Those are the shortest odds entering the U.S. Open since Tiger Woods was +175 in 2009. Advertisement 💵 $2.8 billion The attorneys who shepherded the $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement to fruition for hundreds of thousands of college athletes will share in over $475 million in plaintiff legal fees, and that figure could rise to more than $725 million over the next 10 years. ⚾️ 43 multi-HR games Aaron Judge had his 43rd career multi-HR game on Sunday, tying Lou Gehrig for the third-most ever by a Yankee. Only Babe Ruth (68) and Mickey Mantle (46) have more. 🏀 2 players How good has Shai Gilgeous-Alexander been this season? He just joined Michael Jordan (1991-92) as the only two players in NBA history to put up 3,000 points, 600 assists, 150 steals and 80 blocks in a single campaign (including playoffs).

Here are early grades for the Top 10 free agents, courtesy of Yahoo Sports' Jordan Shusterman. Juan Soto, Mets (B-): The highest-paid player in baseball history should be held to the highest possible standard, and Soto simply hasn't met it yet. But that could change in a hurry as he starts to heat up, with 3 HR and a 1.250 OPS in his last 10 games. Rōki Sasaki, Dodgers (C): For as special as his splitter is, the Japanese phenom doesn't have a great fastball and his command remains shoddy at best. Hence his underwhelming numbers (4.72 ERA and 1.49 WHIP) through his first eight big league starts. Corbin Burnes, Diamondbacks (B/Incomplete): Arizona's $210 million ace was ruled out for the season on Friday (Tommy John surgery), ending what had been a strong start to his tenure (2.66 ERA in 11 starts). Alex Bregman, Red Sox (A-): For all the roster construction drama that has swirled around since his arrival, Bregman himself was thoroughly fulfilling his obligations (11 HR, .938 OPS, 3.0 WAR) until his quad injury last month. Willy Adames, Giants (C-): It's been a struggle at the plate for San Francisco's new shortstop (.193 BA, .584 OPS, -0.5 WAR), who has been moved down in the order as he looks to find his stride. Blake Snell, Dodgers (D/Incomplete): The two-time Cy Young winner hit the injured list (shoulder) after just two starts. He's working his way back and is scheduled to throw a bullpen in the coming weeks. Max Fried, Yankees (A): Fried has been phenomenal (8-1, 1.78 ERA) and his presence has been crucial in the absence of ace Gerrit Cole and reigning ROY Luis Gil. Pete Alonso, Mets (A): After failing to secure a long-term deal in his first go at free agency, Alonso's red-hot start (17 HR, .990 OPS, league-leading 61 RBI) has him primed to land a deserved, if delayed, monster payday this winter. Teoscar Hernández, Dodgers (B): Los Angeles re-signed Hernández for his bat and he continues to slug. But his complete refusal to draw walks continues to limit his impact (.290 on-base percentage). Christian Walker, Astros (D+): The veteran first baseman is off to a rough start in Houston (.207 BA, .619 OPS, -0.7 WAR), where his strikeouts have spiked and walks have plummeted.

True freshmen shine as LSU baseball heads to College World Series
True freshmen shine as LSU baseball heads to College World Series True freshmen playing meaningful baseball in the SEC is a rarity with the talent level among all teams, but LSU baseball head coach Jay Johnson takes a different approach it's paying off. Nobody in our league plays freshmen," Johnson said. "They just don't. We do, and they play pretty darn good baseball." In both rounds of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, the youngsters gave LSU a boost. Derek Curiel remained a fixture near the top of the lineup while pitchers Casan Evans and Cooper Williams made high-leverage appearances. Curiel finished the West Virginia series with five RBI, four hits, including a home run, and three walks. Evans earned the win in relief during the regional championship game by throwing six innings of one run ball with 12 strikeouts. Williams pitched 3.2 scoreless innings in relief after the Tigers fell behind Little Rock. Johnson will continue to rely on the freshmen to move his team through the College World Series and beyond as he continues building the LSU program. "They just need to be themselves," Johnson said. "I'm proud of them for contributing on a team this good. To contribute as much as that has is awesome and they're the foundation of this thing moving forward." LSU will play begin its College World Series journey when the Tigers meet Arkansas at 5 p.m. CT on Saturday.

Meet the seven teams joining LSU baseball in Omaha for the College World Series
Meet the seven teams joining LSU baseball in Omaha for the College World Series We're days away from another College World Series beginning in Omaha, Nebraska. The event has been a staple on the summer sports calendar dating back to the first one in 1947. LSU baseball has grown familiar with Omaha over the years. After beating West Virginia in the Baton Rouge Super Regional on Sunday night, the Tigers earned a spot in the CWS for the 20th time in program history. Jay Johnson's squad won it all the last time they were here in 2023. The College World Series will feature eight teams, forming two double-elimination brackets. The winners of each bracket meet in the CWS final. The action gets underway on June 13 and a champion will be crowned on June 22 or 23. With Murray State beating Duke on Monday night, the CWS field is set. It's a balanced field with just about every pocket of the country represented. From Oregon State in the Pacific Northwest to Coastal Carolina in the South, here's a look at the eight teams set to compete in Omaha. Arizona Wildcats Arizona is the old stomping ground of current LSU head coach Jay Johnson. The program is one of the most decorated in the sport. This is the Wildcats' 19th trip to Omaha. Arizona has won four national titles, the last one coming in 2012. Oregon State Beavers Oregon State is heading to Omaha for the first time since 2018. The Beavers are making their eighth overall appearance and have three national titles. Arkansas Razorbacks LSU's first opponent in Omaha will be Arkansas. The Razorbacks are still looking to win their first national title but are making their 12th CWS appearance. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Coastal Carolina is making its second trip to Omaha. The only time the Chants were here before, they won it all in 2016. CCU swept Auburn to punch its ticket. UCLA Bruins The Bruins are making their sixth trip to the CWS, but it's the first one since 2013. This is John Savage's fourth time leading UCLA to Omaha as head coach. LSU Tigers Jay Johnson led LSU to a national title in 2023 and after a one-year absence, the Tigers are returning to Omaha. This is LSU's 20th trip in program history. The Tigers have won seven national titles. Murray State Racers Murray State is in the midst of a Cinderella run. With the Racers' win over Duke, Murray State is on its way to the first College World Series in program history. Louisville Cardinals Louisville is slated to make its sixth College World Series appearance. This is the Cardinals' first trip since 2019. UL is yet to win a national title.
