Judge Approves $2.8B Settlement, Allowing College Athlete Payments

Imagine college athletes who play sports like football and basketball.

They help make a lot of money for their schools.

For a long time, they weren't allowed to get paid.

Now, a judge has said that schools can start giving money to these players.

This agreement means the schools will share millions of dollars with their current players.

Also, they have to pay millions to the former players who weren't paid before.

It's like the rules of college sports are changing, and now the players will get a bigger share of the money.
