Ohio State University is now allowed to pay its student athletes. Around $18 million will go toward paying the athletes for their name, image and likeness. Ohio State’s Athletic Director Ross Bjork announced that the money will pay athletes playing for the school's football, women's volleyball and men's and women's basketball teams.

An agreement signed last year between the NCAA and those Power Five conferences allows schools to give athletes a portion of the revenue their athletic departments generate.

This year's Christmas tree bill started as a measure on Ohio township zoning laws. But it ended up with dozens of other bills attached.

The bill to make some changes in Ohio's name, image and likeness law gets support from a big fan, but it still may get punted to next session.

The athletics department would not say which of its 36 sports will be affected. The changes come with a court settlement on new name, image and likeness rules.

Terrelle Pryor sued Ohio State, the NCAA, the Big Ten and a communications company to prevent them from using the name, image and likeness of former Ohio State athletes.

Ohio lawmakers said it’s time to think about reworking the state’s name, image, and likeness—or NIL—regulations.

In May, the NCAA and the five big power conferences agreed that college athletes should directly receive pay from universities.

Commentator Terry Pluto weighs in on a new NCAA proposal that would allow Division I schools like Ohio State University to pay their athletes directly.

The last few years have seen a massive shift in the landscape of college football.
