Big 12 first to agree to settle House v. NCAA case, sources say

The Big 12 conference became the first named party in the House v. NCAA case to vote to settle that case and related anti-trust cases, sources told ESPN.

Sources: Mississippi State invests in hoops, extends coach Jans

Mississippi State has extended the contract of coach Chris Jans through the 2027-28 season and given him a pay raise that starts at $1 million per year after he led the Bulldogs to two straight NCAA tournaments.

Looking ahead to this week's House v. NCAA settlement votes

Major college sports are set to shift this week to give athletes a significantly larger portion of the billions of dollars they help generate for their schools.
