Urban Meyer outlines what punishment coaches and players could receive following the House v. NCAA settlement 

Urban Meyer is worried about what the House v. NCAA settlement can mean for the future of college sports. While he admits there's room for great improvement in the framework that's been put forward, he also has expressed scepticism about how all of this will pan out.

Without a doubt, House v. NCAA is one of the most monumental developments in the history of college sports. After a century-long ban, student-athletes will receive direct compensation from their schools, effectively ending amateurism in college sports.

However, Meyer's biggest concern is the new bodies the settlement creates and the consequences the new regulation can have for coaches. On Wednesday's edition of "The Triple Option" podcast, Meyer said this (Time stamp: 25:10):

"Subpoena power will change the game. If you lie under subpoena... You put your hand up and you say, if that's what they're talking about, then that's a problem, and I think the punishment is so firm to the point you can't coach or play again. If you're subpoenaed and you lie intentionally, it's over. Your career is done."

While subpoena power wasn't discussed in the settlement, it's clear that new mechanisms will be needed to regulate the market. However, the settlement does establish the creation of an independent clearinghouse to authorize NIL deals.

Consulting firm Deloitte has been named as the independent clearinghouse for the time being. It's unclear what powers the firm would have to enforce "fair market value" regulations.

Who will enforce House v. NCAA?

Beyond the independent clearinghouse, there are reports by ESPN that even before Judge Claudia Wilken approved the settlement, the NCAA was already searching for a CEO of the College Sports Commission. Since last year, several people in college sports, including President Donald Trump, have argued Nick Saban would be the right person for the job.

It's unclear how other sports would take the hiring of someone so closely affiliated with football.

It would seem this commission would have a far broader mandate than the clearinghouse, focusing on the enforcement of all the agreements reached in House v. NCAA. It wouldn't just focus on approving NIL deals.
