NCAA's House Settlement Era Begins, Shaking up College Athletics as some Schools Opt Out

  • On July 1, the NCAA's House settlement era launched, allowing programs to pay up to $20.5 million annually, marking the biggest change in college athletics history.
  • Following years of litigation, federal antitrust lawsuits led to a multibillion-dollar settlement approved by Judge Claudia Wilken, ending a five-year legal battle with the NCAA.
  • Schools can share up to $20.5 million for 2025-26 under new roster limits and NIL regulations overseen by the College Sports Commission.
  • Amid legal risks and Title IX concerns, most Division I schools opted into the settlement to remain competitive, while some schools wait to assess future developments.
  • In the long term, the 10-year settlement's annual cap will grow with rising revenues, while schools retain discretion over fund distribution strategies across sports.
