About this listen

 College sports has entered a new era with a recent court ruling that allows the schools to make direct payments to athletes. For the upcoming school year, up to $20.5 million can be distributed to football, basketball, baseball, volleyball players and more. This is in addition to scholarships and payments for name, image and likeness. How are schools handling this new approach? On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, college beat writers Kellis Robinett and Shreyas Laddha break down the structure and apply it to the schools they cover, Kansas State and Kansas. The schools also look to regulate NIL, preventing it from becoming a recruiting tool, by creating an enforcement organization outside the NCAA. That could be the biggest challenge to the changed sports world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
