Frontier Conference Expansion Becomes Official This Summer. Here's What that Means
- On June 6, 2025, Federal Judge Claudia Wilken approved the House v. NCAA settlement allowing schools to pay athletes starting July 1, 2025.
- The 2020 lawsuit filed by about 14,000 athletes over earning restrictions followed the 2021 Supreme Court ruling in Alston v. NCAA that challenged NCAA limits.
- The settlement lifts restrictions on scholarships, limits team rosters to a maximum of 105 players, and permits schools to distribute as much as $20.5 million to athletes during the 2025-26 academic year.
- Approximately $2.8 billion in back pay will be distributed to some 85,000 current and former athletes from 2016 to 2024, mainly in football and men's basketball.
- This settlement ends strict amateurism in college sports and likely benefits wealthier schools with larger athletic revenues more than others.
