NCAA agrees to $2.7B settlement, opens door for revenue-sharing in college athletics
SUMMARY: The NCAA Board of Governors has reached a landmark $2.77 billion settlement for the “House vs. NCAA” antitrust lawsuit, approved by all five power conferences. This settlement will compensate pre-2021 athletes for lost income before major TV deals and NIL reimbursements and will enable universities to pay student-athletes directly. The agreement is seen as a significant reform in college sports, providing benefits and clarity for years to come. With implementation expected by the fall of 2025, the NCAA plans a revenue-sharing model allowing schools to allocate up to $22 million in revenue and additional scholarships to student-athletes, alongside existing NIL compensation opportunities.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Petrified Forest, located in Flora near Jackson, is a unique national forest in the southeastern U.S., presenting a natural history of Mississippi. Discovered in the mid-1800s, it opened to the public in 1963 under Bob and Shirl Schabilion. Formed around 36 million years ago through natural processes like flooding and glacial movements, the petrified logs are remnants of ancient trees, once over 100 feet tall. Visitors can explore the nature trail, view exhibits in the Earth Science Museum, try gem mining, or camp at the site. The forest also features a new pavilion for events and a gift shop with souvenirs.
