The landscape of college sports has changed dramatically in the past few years, and this season marks the first time that Division I schools can share the money they make from sports directly with their student-athletes.

How are Virginia's schools adjusting to these new rules? What challenges and opportunities does it present moving forward?

Join The Richmonder for a panel discussion as we learn the answers to these questions and more.

**Scheduled participants:** 
**Ed McLaughlin,** Director of Athletics, VCU  
**Matt Roan,** Director of Athletics, James Madison
