NCAA Athlete Revenue Sharing, Scholarships & NIL Collectives by School

Estimated NCAA Athlete Revenue Sharing 2025-26:

As part of the House v. NCAA proposed settlement, schools will be allowed to share athletic department revenues with their varsity athletes beginning in the 2025-26 academic year. While not finalized, under the proposed revenue sharing model, schools will be allowed to distribute revenue to its athletes up to 22% of the average Power 5 School annual athletic revenue. The estimate for average Power 5 school revenue is just under $ 100 million annually, so this will result in a tentative revenue sharing cap of $ 20.5 million per school for the upcoming 2025-26 fiscal year. This annual cap is estimated to grow to around $ 30 million over the next ten years.

We compiled data from the most recently available NCAA membership reporting of 20 Power Conference schools, and arrived at the following estimated revenue sharing allocations per team:

Football and Men’s basketball account for close to 95% of team specific revenues at most Power Conference schools, and athletes on these two teams will be the major beneficiaries under the proposed revenue sharing model. While football receives the most revenue sharing per team, Men’s basketball ends up with a significantly higher average per player due to much smaller roster sizes (15 versus 105).

These are estimates of the amount of revenue sharing each school could distribute to its athletes for the 2025-26 fiscal year assuming each school limits revenue sharing to 22% of its annual athletic department revenues. However, any school can elect to share in excess of 22% of its athletic revenues as long as the total payout does not exceed $ 20.5 million annually.  So, in theory, a mid-major FBS school could distribute revenue sharing to its athletes up to the $ 20.5 million annual cap even if this might represent say 90% of its annual athletic revenues. In reality though, it would be fiscally reckless for a smaller school to do this, so our estimates use the 22% benchmark as a guide to what schools would likely distribute in revenue sharing.  Since participation in revenue sharing is optional, a school can elect not to share revenue with its athletes or opt to distribute amounts less than the proposed $ 20.5 million cap. However, doing so would likely put that school at a competitive disadvantage in athletic recruiting.

The NCAA model is titled Revenue Sharing so the initial cut at an allocation per team will begin with this computation. While close to 95% of all team specific revenue is attributed to football and men’s basketball at most P5 schools, other factors will likely affect the ultimate allocation including Title IX considerations.

These are averages per athlete. In actuality, a few players per team will get substantially higher than the average, while many will get much less. Let’s take football as an example: the average Power conference school will likely allocate around $ 15 million in annual revenue sharing to football, which based on a NCAA roster limit of 105 results in an average of around $ 143,000 per player. However, a coach may make a commitment of say 10% or $ 1.5 million per year to land a 5-star quarterback recruit. Then maybe $ 700,000 per year for some running backs and receivers, plus say $ 2 million annually for a starting offensive line to block for the running backs and protect that pricey 5-star quarterback recruit. It can quickly add up, and for players who see little if any playing time, their revenue share will also likely be little or none.

Estimated Revenue Sharing by Conference:

By our calculations, NCAA I schools could be shelling out over $ 1.6 billion annually in revenue sharing beginning next year. Based on NCAA reporting data compiled by USA Today, we arrived at the following estimates of 2025-26 revenue sharing by conference and member schools:

Average Annual Athletic Revenues per School *	# of Schools	Revenue per School	22% of Revenue	Est Revenue Sharing 2025

Computed Athletic Department revenue includes event tickets and admission fees, game guarantees, TV, media, licensing, advertising, sponsorships and royalty rights, bowl game, NCAA and conference distributions and all related revenues. Revenue does not include direct or indirect school support, student fees or unrecompensed (i.e. charitable) contributions to the athletic department from alumni and boosters.

Based on these estimates, the average Power 5 conference school ($ 18,755,486) will likely compensate its athletes over seven times what the average Group of 5 school ($ 2,528,543) and over twenty times what all other NCAA I schools ($ 853,899) will likely share. These estimates assume schools use the 22% revenue sharing benchmark for their own revenue sharing – however, any school can exceed to share in excess of 22% annually as long as the total annual payout does not exceed the $ 20.5 million cap.

* We are confident in these estimates: our computed average annual revenue per P5 conference school came to $ 100,420,042 – spot on with the $ 100 million average P5 estimate reportedly used to formulate the parameters of the proposed NCAA revenue sharing model. Note: Revenue sharing is in addition to any third-party NIL compensation and athletic scholarships received by athletes.

Note: A separate antitrust case (Fontenot v. NCAA) contests the proposed settlement reached in House v NCAA as being insufficient. Among the complaints is that the proposed 22% revenue sharing allocation is too low, and by inference that revenue sharing by NCAA member schools should be mandatory, not optional.

Estimated Athlete Revenue Sharing by NCAA I School 2025-26:

The following is an estimate of the likely amount each public NCAA I school would distribute to its athletes under the proposed NCAA revenue sharing agreement. This assumes each school limits revenue sharing to 22% of its annual revenue. However, schools can exceed the 22% benchmark as long as the revenue sharing payout does not exceed the annual cap per school estimated to be about $ 20.5 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year:

Non-Power Conference Schools face a newly tilted playing field:

Non-Power conference schools have much smaller revenues and their athlete revenue sharing pool will likely be a fraction of what big schools can – and will – pay. In men’s basketball and football, the average Power conference player can expect to receive between 5 to 60 times what a non-power conference player would receive.

Recruiting by non-power conference teams in revenue generating sports is going to be much more difficult. Since inception of the NCAA in 1906, all Division I member schools have recruited athletes subject to the same financial parameters: all schools were subject to identical scholarship limits per sport, and no member school could compensate athletes directly. The revenue sharing model scheduled to begin in 2025 will uproot this this long existing level playing field, and drastically alter the competitive balance between NCAA I schools.

Substantial increase in potential athletic scholarships for NCAA I athletes:

The NCAA recognizes that revenue sharing will primarily benefit athletes in only a few sports. To address this issue, the organization has proposed to eliminate existing scholarship restrictions on all D1 sports and instead substitute roster limits.  This could create a substantial increase in athletic scholarships especially in non-revenue sports. For example, the scholarship limit in women’s rowing will increase from 20 to 68, in softball from 12 to 25 and in baseball from 11.7 to 34.  Here are the new limits under the proposal:

The potential impact of these additional awards is massive. Under our calculations, NCAA I schools could award up to 86,212 additional “full-ride” scholarships. Assuming a value of $ 35,000 annually per scholarship, this would result in potentially up to $ 3 billion in additional scholarship awards per year – almost double the estimated $ 1.6 billion in revenue sharing distributions.

But the actual increase is going to be substantially less than $ 3 billion. Scholarships awards are optional – a school can fully fund a sport or make awards less than the maximum allowed. Many schools already operate with roster sizes less than the NCAA limit, and they will have a new financial incentive to operate with smaller teams. And sadly, we’re likely to see cuts to non-revenue sports at many schools. Athletic directors are currently looking at a new reality where the costs of sponsoring a (competitive) non-revenue sport are likely to increase significantly, while the historical offsetting subsidy from sports such as football is being substantially decreased due to revenue sharing. To make matters worse, athletic departments are losing an undetermined amount of support from booster contributions being diverted to NIL collectives rather than directly to the schools. There are going to be painful decisions to make about non-revenue sports at many schools.

Potential Total Impact to schools from House v NCAA settlement:

As part of the potential settlement of the House v NCAA antitrust litigation, the NCAA has proposed the revenue sharing model outlined above, as well as removing scholarship limits for all NCAA I sports in order to give some additional consideration to athletes participating in non-revenue sports. For purposes of this analysis we are assuming a school’s athletic scholarship costs will increase by 25% – this percentage may be too low as there will likely be intense pressure from non-revenue sports to fully fund athletic scholarships.  In addition to revenue sharing and additional scholarship costs, schools are currently losing booster financial support from donor funds that are being contributed to NIL collectives rather than directly to the schools.  These three elements will have a potentially severe effect on a school’s athletic budget. The estimated potential total impact by school is as follows:

The total impact above does not include each school’s share of the House v NCAA $ 2.8 billion settlement to current & former athletes. This settlement will be paid by a combination of direct NCAA payments ($ 1.1 billion) and withheld NCAA revenue sharing distributions ($ 1.665 billion) to schools over the next ten years – see the table below for details.

The wildcard here are the NIL Collectives. With the advent of the proposed revenue sharing model, the NCAA has indicated that it will step up enforcement of NIL collectives so that payments to athletes are only for true NIL, and that these entities are not used as vehicles to circumvent (and exceed) the forthcoming $ 20.5 million revenue sharing cap.

Most schools would prefer that donor funds currently flowing to collectives instead go directly to the schools, where they can be used for areas in most need and even help pay for a school’s revenue sharing commitment: i.e., schools should determine how donor funds are spent.  Athletic department budgets would be healthier if schools did not have to compete with collectives for contributions from the same boosters. Intercollegiate competition would also be on a more level playing field, as there would be less opportunity for a rogue coach to gain an unfair recruiting advantage by using a collective to do an end-around the revenue sharing caps.

Are Non-Power Conference Schools getting hosed in proposed House v NCAA settlement?

Under the proposed $ 2.8 billion House settlement, the NCAA will pay $ 1.1 billion directly from its reserve funds and the remaining $ 1.665 billion will be paid by schools via reduced NCAA income distributions over the next ten years.  But the proposed allocation of the amount due from schools is receiving some justified criticism. Under the proposal, Power conference schools will be responsible for $ 675 million or about 40% and all other NCAA I schools will be responsible for $ 990 million or around 60%. The issue is that Power conference schools account for over 80% of athletic revenues while all other D1 schools account for less than 20%. At first glance this appears inequitable, because as a percentage of annual revenue, non-power schools are paying about 6 times more of the House settlement than Power 5 schools:

House V NCAA Proposed Settlement	# of Schools	%	Total	Per School Total	Per School Annually	Avr Annual Revenue	% paid per year
Power Conference Schools	70	40%	$ 675 million	$ 9,642,857	$ 964,286	$ 100,420,042	1%
All Other NCAA I Schools	292	60%	$ 990 million	$ 3,390,411	$ 339,041	$ 5,445,470	6%
Total	362		$ 1.665 billion

The NCAA’s presumed position on this is that the proposed settlement allocation matches the sources of the revenue streams it distributes to schools, and what a school may have in other revenue is irrelevant. While this position is valid, whether it is truly equitable remains up for debate. The plaintiffs in House are all former Power conference athletes, and it’s not unreasonable to argue that it appears non-Power conference schools are being asked to pay for more than their fair share. Allocating the settlement instead to match school or conference revenues would result in all NCAA I schools paying about 2% of their annual revenue.

School support of Athletic Programs by Percentage:

There is a direct relationship between Athletic Department Revenues and what a school needs to internally contribute to support its athletic department.  Schools with substantial revenues from ticket sales, booster contributions and TV contracts require little or no school support. But most Athletic Departments have limited outside revenue and must rely on school funds & student fees to a significant extent to support their athletic programs:

The emergence of revenue sharing & NIL collectives is going to substantially widen the already large financial gap between big revenue schools and everyone else. The NCAA is in a very difficult situation, while it truly strives to have member schools compete fairly, settlement of the ongoing anti-trust cases may require that competitive equity be sacrificed.  However, athletics is key part of the college experience. It’s important that the necessary steps be taken to maintain as level of a playing field as possible between all NCAA I schools.
