UH, Texas and Texas A&M will be all-in in the new financial order of college athletics. A federal judge on Friday signed off on the House vs. NCAA settlement, an agreement that permits schools to directly pay college athletes for the first time.

NCAA member schools can compensate players across all sports beginning July 1, according to approval issued by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken.

The landscape of college sports has been altered forever. For the first time in the history of collegiate athletics, student-athletes will soon become eligible to be directly paid by their schools.
