Beginning July 1, schools can pay players directly, sharing the revenue they gain from using their names, images and likenesses, or NIL. Currently, only third parties can make those payments. Each school can share up to $20.5 million of athletic program revenue. That's in addition to the third party NIL deals students athletes may make.

  In addition, $2.7 billion in back pay will go to athletes who competed between 2016 and 2024 before NIL deals were allowed. How the money is allocated among athletes is up to the schools.

  An elite Border Patrol team recently joined the search to help track Hardin through an area known for rocky forests and extensive networks of caves.
