Major college sports programs could take a significant step today toward sharing their wealth with the student-athletes whose performances help line their coffers.
The NCAA Board of Directors is expected to vote this afternoon on a plan to restructure Division I athletics, which would give the five biggest athletic conferences autonomy in making certain rules and provide so-called enhanced benefits to student-athletes.
Following the vote, there will be a 60-day period for all 351 Division I schools to weigh in.
