The details of the House settlement with the NCAA may not have finished, but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law Thursday that will end the NCAA's decades-old prohibition on universities paying players directly.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday signed House Bill 2, the largest public school funding increase in Texas history, allocating $8.5 billion in new funding for public education. A significant portion of the funding - $ 4.

The spending package will give schools more money for staff pay raises, operational expenses, special education and more.
