University of South Dakota will benefit from the House v. NCAA lawsuit settlement

VERMILLION, SD (KELO.com) — The University of South Dakota is opting into the NCAA settlement tied to the House v. NCAA lawsuit.  That move means USD can now share revenue directly with student-athletes, and keep all current athletes on the roster.  Athletic Director Jon Schemmel says the decision won’t hurt the school financially for now, and it locks in benefits ahead of a July 1st deadline.  He adds that USD athletes aren’t expecting to get rich regardless because they’re there for the experience.  Other South Dakota schools haven’t made a decision yet.
