Headcanons: Trini likes watching Billy make His detailed maps. They go on adventures all the time. Jason knows sometimes you've got to let billy ramble before you can see the point so he often smiles and says "wait for it" to the other very confused rangers. Zack is the last person billy lets hug him. he asked why Billy says "your hugs seem nice, just wanted to give you a nice one" Kim watches Billy's interaction @ school, from a distance. ready to help him or fight someone if she needs to.

I 100% support all of these, billy needs all the love

NCAA, Power 5 agree to let schools pay players

The NCAA and its leagues are moving forward with a multibillion-dollar settlement agreement that will allow schools to directly pay players

Dan Murphy and Pete Thamel at ESPN:

The NCAA and its five power conferences have agreed to allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the 100-plus-year history of college sports. The NCAA and its leagues are moving forward with a multibillion-dollar agreement to settle three pending federal antitrust cases. The NCAA will pay more than $2.7 billion in damages over 10 years to past and current athletes, sources told ESPN. Sources said the parties also have agreed to a revenue-sharing plan allowing each school to share up to roughly $20 million per year with its athletes. "The five autonomy conferences and the NCAA agreeing to settlement terms is an important step in the continuing reform of college sports that will provide benefits to student-athletes and provide clarity in college athletics across all divisions for years to come," NCAA president Charlie Baker and the five power conference commissioners said in a joint statement Thursday evening.

"This settlement is also a road map for college sports leaders and Congress to ensure this uniquely American institution can continue to provide unmatched opportunity for millions of students. All of Division I made today's progress possible, and we all have work to do to implement the terms of the agreement as the legal process continues. We look forward to working with our various student-athlete leadership groups to write the next chapter of college sports." All Division I athletes dating back to 2016 are eligible to receive a share as part of the settlement class. In exchange, athletes cannot sue the NCAA for other potential antitrust violations and must drop their complaints in three open cases: House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA. The settlement terms must be approved by Judge Claudia Wilken, who is presiding over all three cases. That process is expected to take several months, and sources said schools likely will begin sharing revenue in fall 2025. The NCAA's board of governors and leaders from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Pac-12 voted to accept the general terms laid out in a 13-page document. Notre Dame also agreed to the settlement as a member of the ACC.

The NCAA and the Power 5 conferences agreed to let schools pay players directly. This effectively ends the purported “amateurism” in collegiate sports.

Power Five conferences approve medical benefits extension

INDIANAPOLIS/January 19, 2018(AP)(STL.News)— The five largest conferences in NCAA Division I have approved a measure requiring their schools to extend medical coverage for two years after athletes leave campus.

The new benefit covers injuries that occurred during the athlete’s college career and includes mental health coverage.

Each of the 65 schools in the Power Five conferences — the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC — can apply their own policies regarding coverage. They also could expand coverage for longer durations as the Pac-12 and many of the so-called autonomous conference members already have.

The leagues also approved legislation requiring basketball teams to give players three consecutive days off during a holiday break with one exception every four years if a team plays in a qualifying tournament.

Group of Five Teams Consider Their Own Playoff

Group of Five Teams Consider Their Own Playoff

Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier is among a growing number of Group of Five officials that favor adding a playoff specifically for those schools. “It’s time to have a realistic conversation about creating a playoff for the Group of Five,” Frazier told ESPN. “Why not?” It’s been 32 years since a non-Power Five team won a national championship (BYU in 1984) and it likely will never…
