Thought this was interesting:

The class-action agreement, if approved by a federal judge and class members, applies to student-athletes in all sports who have played at NCAA member schools at any time in the past until 50 years in the future.

It should be noted there's nothing about treatment of concussions in this settlement, for those not reading the article. Just for testing and diagnosis. I can't see this money lasting 50 years.

that was also my first thought when I read this

when you combine all NCAA sports, past/present/future, thats a lot of concussions

heres another article on how they arrived at that $70 mil figure:
