In detail
The CSC is not part of the NCAA. It runs NIL Go for third-party deals and the College Athlete Payment System (CAPS) for school payments and rosters, investigates possible violations, sets penalties and takes part in neutral arbitration. The NCAA still enforces its other rules, such as academic eligibility and sports betting.
It also runs an anonymous tipline for reporting possible violations.
