NCAA, college sports cleared for revenue sharing with athletes after settlement approved
UNITED STATES, JUN 7 – The settlement ends NCAA amateurism rules and establishes a $20.5 million annual revenue-sharing cap per school starting July 2025, with $2.8 billion in back pay over 10 years.
- U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken approved the $2.8 billion House v. NCAA settlement after nearly five years of litigation on June 6, 2025.
- The settlement followed initial NCAA and power conference agreement in 2024 and extensive negotiations addressing roster limits and athlete compensation.
- Starting July 1, schools can directly pay current players up to $20.5 million annually, with gradual escalations and new enforcement by the College Sports Commission and NIL Go.
- The ten-year agreement includes back payments to athletes from 2016 to 2024, new roster caps requiring cuts especially in football, and oversight by Deloitte and LBI to monitor compliance.
- This landmark settlement ends the NCAA’s 119-year amateurism model, reshapes college sports economics, but may lead to further legal disputes and challenges around athlete compensation.
