ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Big Ten approved a first-of-its-kind rule Wednesday limiting its schools to arranging no more than $27.5 million in third-party name, image, likeness deals for players — a number that matches the amount that would be added to the existing revenue-sharing cap if the Protect College Sports Act becomes federal law.
