Judge’s Game-Changing Ruling Unleashes New Era of Player Pay in NCAA—What This Means for College Sports!
“Beginning July 1, schools will be able to share $20.5 million with athletes, with football expected to receive 75%, followed by men’s basketball (15%), women’s basketball (5%) and the remainder of sports (5%),” Nakos wrote. “The amount shared in revenue will increase annually.”
That means that football programs will have about $15 million, give or take, to spend on their rosters.
The settlement will also introduce roster limits, which was a big sticking point between the two sides over the course of the last few months. Those roster limits will be grandfathered in, a stipulation that Wilkin required in order to go through with the approval of the settlement.
