A lip reader has revealed what Taylor Swift really said after she got booed at the 2025 Super Bowl.

Knewz.com can reveal the pop singer looked stunned and confused by the crowd’s reaction when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time before the game at the Caesars Superdome.

On Sunday night, Swift, 35, was seen sitting next to fellow star Ice Spice to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, take on the Philadelphia Eagles during the Super Bowl.

After the Lover singer was shown on the big screen, she appeared to give the side eye to the rapper before she allegedly said: “Aww, what..what’s going on?”

Viewers and fellow superstars watched Swift’s uncomfortable moment and took to social media to show their support.

Just moments after, tennis superstar Serena Williams took to X and told the pop singer: “I love you @taylorswift 13 don’t listen to those boos!!!”

But one person who didn’t show their support to Swift was President Donald Trump, who made history as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl.

After Swift’s awkward moment went viral, Trump took to Truth Social to taunt the pop star: “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”

The president also shared side-by-side comparison videos of him and Swift both appearing on the jumbotron – which showed his appearance before the national anthem received a massive round of applause, unlike the singer.

Viewers also took to social media to mock the singer over the incident.

One user wrote: “President Trump gets cheered. Taylor Swift gets booed. America is healing!”

Another said: “Let me give you the highlights… President Trump was resoundingly cheered by the crowd. Taylor Swift was equally resoundingly booed by the crowd. Those are the key highlights.”

A third tweeted: “Superbowl takeaway in a nutshell: Entertainment was inapproprate, it sucked. Taylor Swift was appropriately booed, and President Trump was appropriately applauded. America is alive and well.”

A fourth noted: “This country is in a cultural shift. Taylor Swift got booed because the American people are fed up with Democratic policies, and she supported Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Donald Trump got an applause and a standing ovation. The Democrats continue to dig their own grave.”

Unfortunately for Swift, the night just kept getting worse for her and the NFL star.

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered an embarrassing loss to the Eagles in a 22-40 defeat.

According to a Daily Mail source, the NFL superstar was heavily impacted by his very famous girlfriend getting booed before the game.

A source close to Kelce told the site: “Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him.

“He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help. Travis knows that this hurt her, and anyone can see this.

“It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts – being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear prior to dating him. Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her, especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there.

“After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year, it just hasn’t been a good week for them. But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy.”

Tennis prodigy Anna Kournikova appeared to have it all as she toured the world playing the sport she loved and raked in millions of dollars.

But injury blighted her career, stalkers and cranks followed her every move and now she’s living the life of a virtual recluse behind the 16ft walls of her mansion with singer partner Enrique Iglesias and their three children, Knewz.com can reveal.

Since quitting the game in 2003, aged just 21, due to back problems, she rarely ventures out and often needs a wheelchair due to chronic pain.

This week she was photographed in public for the first time in nearly three years.

And it seems the 43-year-old has not shaken off the injuries that prevented her career on court from reaching its full potential.

The Russian-born star was spotted at Bal Harbour in Miami being pushed along in a wheelchair by family and friends, with her right foot clad in an orthopedic boot.

She was last seen by fans when she shared a photo of her family celebrating Mother’s Day and Iglesias’ 47th birthday in their back garden in May 2022.

It was becoming a mom to twins Nicholas and Lucy in December 2017 that saw her move away from public view.

She did not announce their birth until a month later.

Since then, there have been the occasional images of her children posted on social media.

Kournikova said: “I love being a mum. I absolutely wanted to have children, whether I had my own or adopted.”

But the couple give so little away that they have not even confirmed a rumored marriage.

She wears a huge sparkly ring on her wedding finger and calls herself Anna Kournikova Iglesias on her Instagram page.

He also said in 2022: “We haven’t gotten married in public, but that doesn’t mean we are not married.

“We have been together for such a long time, for half of our lives.”

Despite never reaching the final of a grand slam singles tournament, the Russian was in such demand she was the highest-earning female player in 2000.

It is believed she made around $40m in her career – but only $2.8m came from on-court prize money and the rest was from lucrative sponsorship deals.

Her life is a world away from her years as a teenage sensation when she once joked that “every country I visit, I have a different boyfriend and I kiss them all,” following rumors she was seeing two Russian ice hockey stars at the same time.

Her reluctance to go out in public is understandable, given that a stalker once tried to get onto her property

Talking about her worldwide fame in 2019 she said: “It’s really strange, it feels like it happened to me but it didn’t happen to me because it was such a long time ago.”

And she confessed that all the attention she received had made her anxious.

She said: “Being in the spotlight since I was a child was really hard. I did feel pressure when people were saying things like, ‘You’re too pretty, you can’t play’, or whatever.

“I would get so nervous and get anxiety on the court, I wouldn’t be able to move.”

Olympic snowboarder Sophie Hediger has died at the age of 26 following an avalanche at a ski resort in Switzerland.

Knewz.com can reveal the athlete was swept up in an avalanche at the ski resort, according to the Swiss-Ski Federation announcement.

Swiss-Ski CEO Walter Reusser said in a statement: “We are stunned and in our thoughts with Sophie’s family, to whom we express our deepest condolences.

“With the tragic death of Sophie Hediger, a dark shadow has been placed over the Christmas days for the Swiss ski family. We are immeasurably sad. We will keep Sophie an honorable memory.”

Just nine days before her heartbreaking death, the athlete celebrated her 26th birthday on December 14.

On Monday, police revealed that a snowboarder died following an avalanche while backcountry skiing and was not located until two hours after emergency services were alerted – but her identity was not released at the time.

According to the cantonal police of Graubünden, the 26-year-old ventured onto the Black Diamond run – which was allegedly closed at the time due to avalanche risk – with another snowboarder.

Hediger was pronounced dead on the scene after emergency teams, specialists with trained dogs, and the Swiss Air Rescue located her body.

Swiss-Ski said that no further details about Hediger’s shocking death will be released, which was a request made by her family members and partner.

According to reports, Switzerland had been experiencing heavy snowfall before the tragic accident.

Hediger participated in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

She competed in several events, including the women’s snowboard cross.

In 2023-24, she finished on the podium twice in World Cup competitions.

In her final Instagram post on December 15, Hediger wrote: “p9 in the first worldcup of the season @cervinoskiparadise – crashed in 1/4-finals. Happy about my riding and my best qualification I’ve ever had with p3.

“Thank you @bombac.rok & @lorenzo_marten for the super fast boards & congrats to all our ladies for the great team result. @chrishocking.”

Fans of the 26-year-old took to the Instagram comments of her final post.

One wrote: “Rest in peace queen.”

A second said: “RIP Beautiful so sorry.”

Another added: “R.I.P. ‘The power of love brightly enchants the world because it contains the only light that even death cannot extinguish.'”

Tom Brady is wrecking his rugged good looks with cosmetic quick fixes, according to concerned fans who are crying foul and begging the 47-year-old football legend to kick the habit.

The retired quarterback turned FOX Sports football announcer and game analyst is getting needled online for his suspiciously smooth face amid the first year of his decade-long $375 million deal with the media giant, Knewz.com can reveal.

Brady has boasted about his strict diet and fitness routine – but a source dishes plenty of people are convinced that he’s “doing what everyone else on TV is doing” to keep his youthful appearance going for as long as possible “by getting a few nip/tucks”.

Chicago-based plastic surgeon Dr. Otto Placik of bodysculptor.com said: “The forehead appears markedly smooth, consistent with Botox. I think the smoothness of the lower eyelids and cheeks suggest fillers there, and the strength of the jawline also are likely the result of fillers.”

Placik, who hasn’t treated Brady, also said that the former New England Patriots star likely tampered with his hairline.

The doctor added: “It seems pretty obvious he had hair transplants.”

The seven-time Super Bowl champ was filleted earlier this year by viewers who believed his trout pout was due to fishy-looking fillers.

But, the insider revealed that Brady is ignoring any criticism because of the intense pressure to always look good on camera.

The source explained: “He may be relying on a few injections of Botox to smooth out his forehead and other fillers to accentuate those high cheekbones and chin. Tom’s a nice guy, but he’s still vain. He’s going to want to keep up with the program and earn that fat salary and look great at the same time.”

South African former Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, known as the “Blade Runner”, is said to have gotten a new girlfriend shortly after being released on parole.

Knewz.com can reveal Pistorius, 38, has apparently been dating Rita Greyling, 33, a business management consultant, since he finished serving nine years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, who he shot on Valentine’s Day in 2013.

Sources close to the couple revealed how Pistorius is focusing on moving on after his stint in prison.

The insider said: “He is trying to rebuild his life in a low-key way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public and is flying under the radar.

“He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society, but that is being done through families that his family have been close to for decades. The word on the street for three months now is that he is dating again.”

Pistorius reportedly moved into his uncle Arnold’s $2.5 million Pretoria home and relies on him for protection.

His wealthy uncle, who made his millions from property and tourism, hired armed guards with attack dogs to protect the cottage his nephew lives in.

The former Paralympian has attempted to rebuild his life through volunteer work at a nearby Dutch Reform Church, as he has reportedly found it difficult to find work with his record.

Pistorius’ sentence ends in 2029, and he is subject to a number of conditions outside of jail. These include attending anger management classes and therapy on “gender-based violence issues”.

A Steenkamp family friend previously said Pistorius won’t be forgiven anytime soon and issued a stark warning to him.

They said: “Oscar will get the shock of his life when he is back out in the real world.

“It’s a very different world where gender-based violence is now taken far more seriously.

“I don’t know if he will be able to cope with no longer being the center of attention and the superstar everybody wanted to be around. He will always be looking over his shoulder.”

On Saturday, December 14, Reeva’s mother, June, 78, also warned the disgraced star’s new love: “I don’t understand how she doesn’t see a red flag about him because he has not lost his temper problem.

“He was supposed to be under anger management when he was in jail, and at one stage, I stopped him coming out because I was annoyed that he wasn’t having treatment.

“He was angry – and he still has a problem with anger.

“He’s still a danger to women. Reeva only knew him for three months, and she was dead and he’s never confessed.”

The Sun reported on Reeva’s family’s comments about Pistorius.

Tennis pro Serena Williams has hit back at skin-bleaching claims after a viral video stirred up a scandal with fans.

Knewz.com can reveal the 43-year-old set the record straight in an Instagram Live video on Monday, where she directly addressed the problem after she appeared lighter in “stage makeup” for her daughter’s play.

During the live, the sports star was seen maneuvering through her makeup routine as she stopped to quickly shut down rumors: “And no, for you haters out there, I do not bleach my skin.”

She added: “There is a thing called sunlight and in that sunlight you get different colors.”

Williams explained how in the recent video that fueled the skin bleaching rumors, she was wearing “stage makeup” while volunteering at her daughter Olympia’s school play – where she helped out with the event for the six-year-old.

She continued: “It is ridiculous that everyone is like ‘Oh she bleaches her skin.’ I’m a dark black woman and I love who I am and I love how I look. And that’s just not my thing.

“And if people do it that’s their thing, and they have every opportunity, and they should, I don’t judge.”

She then reiterated: “But no, I actually don’t bleach my skin. So can we just kind of clear that up?”

Later on in the video, she noted the gold wallpaper in her bathroom behind her and said it mixed well with the light to “give her more of her true color”.

She then joked: “The color that I’ve never bleached.”

The original scandal-stirring TikTok showed Williams with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, as they volunteered at their daughter’s school play. The clip quickly sparked comments about her skin appearing lighter than usual.

One person wrote: “They say they don’t bleach which is true because they are doing chemical peels and other s–t that make the skin lighter! So technically it’s not bleaching.”

Another said: “Serena is beautiful, but she has definitely gotten lighter over the years. Maybe it’s the chemical peels!!!”

Some simply noted how Williams was “already beautiful” and said they no longer recognized her.

In her defense, others said William’s possible skin-lightening could have come from her “playing outside for 12 hours a day” as a former tennis professional or that she just “didn’t know how to do her makeup”.

Williams received similar criticism after she shared her latest selfie in November, where some even blamed her look on the “Michael Jackson effect”.

The late pop singer was diagnosed with vitiligo in 1986 and was said to conceal his uneven skin patches with light-colored makeup and possibly skin-bleaching creams.

One commented: “The photo is stunning, but it also makes me feel sad. The Hollywood facial transformation is evident. It’s the dark skinned Michael Jackson effect. Sigh.”

Another said: “Her skin keeps getting lighter and lighter in different pics.”

Williams is widely regarded as the greatest female tennis player in history, with 23 Grand Slam titles to her name, including six US Open championships.

She turned professional in October 1995 and officially retired in September 2022 after 27 years.

Paris has learned a lesson from the violence that unfolded in Amsterdam on the night of November 7 – when Israeli soccer fans were targeted and brutally attacked – and deployed 4,000 police officers for a France-Israel soccer match.

Knewz.com has learned that 1,600 stadium staff will be deployed as well for the UEFA Nations League match on Thursday, November 14.

According to a statement from the Elysee presidential palace, French President Emmanuel Macron will also be attending the match at the Stade de France stadium north of Paris.

An official from the Macron entourage stated that the President’s presence at the match is not only aimed at being a show of support for the French soccer team but also aimed at sending “a message of fraternity and solidarity following the intolerable antisemitic acts that followed the match in Amsterdam.”

To ensure security in and around the stadium and on public transportation, Paris Police Chief Laurent Nuñez said in a statement to the media that 2,500 police officers will be deployed around the stadium, in addition to 1,500 officers stationed in the French capital and on public transport.

“There’s a context, tensions that make that match a high-risk event for us… There will be an anti-terrorist security perimeter around the stadium,” Chief Nuñez said in his statement, adding that the “reinforced” security checks on the day of the match will include “systematic pat-downs and bag searches.”

He further stated that the authorities “won’t tolerate” any violence, like the incident in Amsterdam a week before the scheduled UEFA Nations League match.

The Paris Police Chief added that the organizers in France have contacted Israeli authorities and security forces to prepare for the game night.

It is worth noting that in the wake of the violent incident in Amsterdam, the National Security Council of Israel issued a statement on Sunday, November 10, warning Israeli citizens abroad to avoid cultural and sporting events—including the France-Israel UEFA Nations League match in Paris.

The Israeli National Security Council also urged its citizens to be wary of possible violent attacks “under the pretense of demonstrations.”

On November 7, a week before the France-Israel match, supporters of the Israeli soccer club Maccabi Tel Aviv were hunted down and assaulted in several violent incidents across Amsterdam following a soccer match between Maccabi and the Dutch football club Ajax.

According to reports, tensions in the Dutch capital city were already on the rise prior to the soccer match, with videos circulating on social media showing fans of the Israeli club chanting anti-Arab slurs and yelling “F— the Arabs.”

Israeli soccer fans were also heard praising the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the ongoing military operation in Gaza—which has left more than 43,000 people dead in the past 13 months, most of whom are women and children.

It has been reported that video clips on social media supposedly filmed prior to the soccer match also showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans ripping Palestinian flags off buildings.

The atmosphere at the stadium was relatively calm during and after the match, which the Israeli soccer club lost by five goals.

However, after the Europa League match was over, a night of targeted violent assault descended upon Israeli soccer fans as “criminals on scooters” looked for Maccabi supporters to “ambush and attack.”

The Israeli embassy to the United States shared video clips of the attacks on social media, one of which showed a man being kicked repeatedly as he lay helplessly on the ground. Another rather shocking clip purportedly showed an Israeli soccer fan being run over by a car—which was seemingly filmed from the driver’s point of view.

Yet another video clip showed a Maccabi fan being beaten up by an individual yelling “Free Palestine” and “For the children, motherf—–,” presumably referencing the numerous children who have died in the Gaza conflict so far.

One of the video clips also showed a man shouting “I am not Jewish” while being chased down the street. His “clarification” seemingly made no difference, however, as he was soon thrown to the ground and beaten up.

It has been reported that five of the injured Israeli soccer fans were released from the hospital on the morning of Friday, November 8, and that 20 to 30 people were lightly injured in the attacks.

Law enforcement officials in Amsterdam have stated that 63 individuals were arrested over the night and 10 remain in custody.

Police reportedly detained several other people on Sunday, November 10, for “taking part in a demonstration in central Amsterdam that had been outlawed following the violence targeting Israeli fans.”

The road to the 2025 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup has been set in stone with the schedule for Matchday Three confirmed featuring seven thrilling contests where winners will confirm their position in the Tournament Proper. All the other 14 winning teams can be expected to make appearances in the Fourth round games which will be their final on the 7th and 8th December, prompting fans to come out in numbers to support their favorite teams.

Conversely, these exciting games that are a bit far off on the calendar will also reinvigorate the sports betting scene nationwide with an increased number of bettors expected to stake their bets on teams they believe will be winners. Competitive odds coupled with fast payouts and bonus offerings from international sports betting platforms make up a diverse scene in the US by allowing players to wager on their favorite games without restrictions alongside a wide variety of game offerings according to Best Offshore Sportsbooks’ expert Adam Haynes.

Since the games will take place in 2025, bettors have enough time to find the perfect platform to analyze individual team performance and compare it with the teams they will be pitched up against especially since the schedule has been announced already. Some of the matches that most enthusiasts will be looking forward to include the Pennsylvania clash, featuring Vereinigung Erzgebirge and West Chester United SC, a game expected to be very competitive and filled with regional pride as each team will be inching for an advantage to move on to the next round. 

On the other hand, a new team in this tournament, Virginia FC, and veteran squad Aegean Hawks FC will also set the stage for an exciting regional rivalry with the potential to have a storied history as time unfolds, perhaps one of these teams could perform exceptionally well like Bayern Munich against Rottach-Egern but only time will tell. Several other games have great promise to make the crowd roar, including the NY Renegades vs Lansdowne Yonkers FC, with the latter expected to put their best foot forward in pursuit of returning to the Tournament Proper from the last time they made it to this stage in 2023.

Furthermore, teams like FCY New York set to go toe-to-toe with CD Faialense playing in the Bay State Soccer League will be fighting for their first appearance in the Tournament Proper. This game in particular will be a must-watch as it could be one of the most competitive in the history of the US Open Cup and fans will be keenly locked in to see which side comes out on top.

These match fixtures only reflect a hint of the expected exhilarating moments ahead and they won’t only be fighting for their glory but also a $300,000 champion prize and a spot in the Concacaf Champions Cup. There’s a lot at stake, and undoubtedly all sides will give it all they’ve got to ensure that their names are inscribed on the Dewar Challenge Trophy displayed at the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson Met in 2021

Bill Belichick met his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, on a flight from the Boston area to Florida in February 2021. According to TMZ, the former New England Patriots coach even signed one of Hudson’s textbooks at the time, Knewz.com has learned.

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson Spent Time Together in 2023

In January 2023, Belichick and Hudson, who is 48 years his junior, were spotted together in New Orleans. They were also seen having a cozy dinner date in September of the same year.

Former Patriots Players Teased Bill Belichick About Dating a Younger Woman

At The Roast of Tom Brady in May, former Patriots team members humorously teased the 72-year-old about his and Hudson’s massive age gap.

Rob Gronkowski said: “Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked. But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend.”

Tom Brady added: “When somebody asked me which ring was my favorite, I used to say, ‘The next one.’ Now that I’m retired, my favorite is that Ring camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago.”

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s Relationship Was Confirmed in June 2024

After more than a year of speculation, TMZ confirmed Belichick’s romantic relationship with the 24-year-old former cheerleader. Then, on July 23, the pair was spotted riding on their bikes in Nantucket, Mass.

Bill Belichick Has Become a ‘Different Person’ Since He Started Dating Jordon Hudson

Following the confirmation of their relationship, a source claimed Belichick “changed” since he began dating Hudson.

Belichick’s pal jokingly said to “Bill takes a lot of ribbing for being with a girl 48 years younger. He’s got sweat socks older than her. But he’s undergone a complete personality transformation since he hooked up with her and turned from being a get-off my-lawn guy to a where’s-the-party guy.”

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson ‘Are Headed for Marriage’

As Belichick and Hudson’s relationship deepens, a source revealed nuptials could happen soon.

An insider told Daily Mail: “Bill is at a bit of a crossroads on what he would like to do for his future as there is still a drive to coach again and break the wins record, but his life now isn’t that bad as he has been enjoying doing TV and absolutely enjoying his relationship with his girlfriend Jordon that is blossoming into something that is going to lead to marriage.”

The source added: “He wants to be with her all of the time, but she is pushing him to see the options that he will have for next season because she knows that makes him happy.”

Thousands of former college athletes now have the opportunity to claim their share of a $2.8 billion settlement from the NCAA. This settlement is the result of a crucial case that challenged the NCAA’s past rules about athletes not receiving compensation for their name, image, and likeness (NIL). 

Historically, these athletes couldn’t earn money outside of scholarships. However, new rules in 2021 changed this, allowing them to profit from endorsements and similar deals. 

Athletes who played from 2016 onwards are eligible to file claims, with the largest sum possible being up to $1.85 million per individual. 

While a few of these athletes might now be pursuing high-paying careers in professional sports, many others may not have that opportunity, making these payments potentially life-changing. 

A website dedicated to the settlement is now available, and eligible athletes will soon receive notifications on how to begin the claims process. 

Though there are still some legal steps to complete, a judge has given preliminary approval for the settlement, marking the start of a new era in college sports. 

Who Gets Paid? 

The settlement identifies three main groups of athletes who are eligible for payments. These include football and men’s basketball players from the Power Five conferences, women’s basketball players from these same conferences, and all other Division I athletes. 

The Power Five conferences consist of some of the top NCAA conferences: the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Southeastern, and the smaller Pac-12. These groups receive different payment amounts based on the estimated value they brought in. 

Men’s football and basketball players are expected to get the most, averaging about $135,000 each, and women’s basketball players from these conferences are looking at an average of $35,000. Other athletes may receive smaller amounts, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. 

Over 400,000 athletes could file claims, but the exact payout depends on several factors. These include how much revenue their school generated, how often they played, and their position’s importance in football or contributions to team wins in basketball. 

Those who played key positions like quarterback or brought extra victories might see higher payouts. 

When Will Athletes Get Paid? 

Former college athletes hoping to receive a payout from the $2.8 billion NCAA settlement will need to be patient. According to attorney Luke Fedlam, the exact amount an individual athlete might get will not be clear until at least December. 

Payments, once finalized, are planned to be spread out over as long as ten years with annual disbursements. While the settlement is a major step forward for athletes’ rights, it is not yet set in stone. 

There is still a final hearing scheduled in April, during which the settlement could face potential appeals, especially concerning discussions around Title IX. This federal law ensures that both men’s and women’s sports receive fair treatment. 

Athletes do have the option to not be part of the settlement and could take separate legal action against the NCAA or the conferences involved. Despite the ongoing legal hurdles, many are celebrating this pivotal moment in sports history. 

As they wait for the claims to be resolved, athletes might find solace in watching things likeNCAAB odds by FanDuel, hoping their victory in court becomes a reality. 

Additional Impacts of the Settlement 

The $2.8 billion settlement not only aims to compensate former college athletes for missed earnings from TV and marketing rights in the past but also sets a path for how college sports could operate in the future regarding athlete compensation. 

A key part of the settlement is a new model for revenue sharing, which could changecollege sports as we know them. Schools may soon be able to dedicate up to $22 million each year to pay athletes. 

This shift means that around 70 schools might use this maximum budget by next summer, ushering in a new era of financial support for athletes. 

Over the next decade, this could translate to athletes earning between $15 billion and $20 billion collectively. This change offers a more financially secure future for many college athletes, who can now be rewarded not just with scholarships but also with a share of the revenue they help generate.
