Baker's proposal sent to more than 350 Division I schools would create a new Division I tier where schools would be required to pay at least half their athletes at least $30,000 annually. The proposal also would allow all Division I schools to offer unlimited educational benefits and enter into name, image and likeness licensing deals with athletes. The call is just part of momentous changes already underway for the NCAA, its 500,000 athletes and its 1,100 member universities.
