Estimated NCAA Revenue Sharing 2025-26:
As part of the House v. NCAA settlement, schools will be allowed to share athletic department revenues with their varsity athletes beginning in 2025. Under the NCAA revenue sharing model, schools will be allowed to make payments directly to athletes up to $ 20.5 million per year. The cap is estimated to grow to around $ 30 million per year over the next ten years. In addition, scholarship restrictions will be removed for all Division I sports and roster limits will apply instead.
We compiled data from NCAA membership reporting of 20 Power Conference schools, and arrived at the following estimated revenue sharing allocations per team for the upcoming 2025-26 year:

Football and Men’s basketball account for over 90% of team specific revenues at most Power Conference schools, and athletes on these two teams will be the major beneficiaries of revenue sharing. While football receives the most revenue sharing per team, Men’s basketball has the highest average per player due to much smaller roster sizes (15 versus 105). These are averages per athlete. In actuality, a few players per team will receive substantially higher than the average, while many will receive much less. For players who see little if any playing time, their revenue share will also likely be minimal.
Revenue sharing is in addition to any third-party NIL compensation an athlete may receive. A new independent enforcement agency, the College Sports Commission, has been established to oversee compliance to the rules governing the annual revenue sharing cap, roster limits, and third-party NIL payments. An NIL clearinghouse (“NIL Go”) has also been created to assess the validity of all third-party NIL deals exceeding $ 600. The objective is to ensure that compensation is being made for true NIL and not prohibited payments such as pay to play. Deloitte will be managing NIL Go and has reportedly shared data with athletic directors and coaches showing that 70% of past payments from NIL / booster collectives would have been denied, while conversely, over 90% of payments from public companies would have been approved. This is one reason (among several) why the influence of NIL collectives will greatly diminish in the upcoming revenue sharing era.

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:

Indications are that virtually every Power Conference school intends to commit to the maximum revenue sharing allowed of $ 20.5 million for the 2025-26 year. As a result there will be increased parity between schools … and a lot of unhappy boosters. If a school awards additional athletic scholarships beyond the NCAA team limits in effect prior to House v NCAA, than the increased awards are counted as part of their revenue sharing pool up to $ 2.5 million per year.
** We are not making an estimate of 2025 revenue sharing for the Pac-12 as it is currently rebuilding. However, the Pac-12 may end up becoming the Sweet Spot conference in the revenue sharing era.
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 contributions to the athletic department from alumni and boosters. However, Revenue Sharing may result in booster fatigue at many schools.
Based on these estimates, the average Power 5 conference school ($ 20,500,000) will likely compensate its athletes about eight 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 pay out in revenue sharing. However, there is a good chance that revenue sharing may produce a “Moneyball” upstart.
These estimates assume schools use the 22% revenue sharing benchmark which was relied upon to arrive at the initial annual cap in House v NCAA. However, a school can elect to share revenues in excess of 22% as long as the total annual payout does not exceed the $ 20.5 million cap. So while not likely, a mid-major FBS school could in theory, distribute revenue sharing to its athletes up to the $ 20.5 million cap even if this might represent say 90% of its annual athletic revenues. Since participation in revenue sharing is optional, an NCAA I school can also elect not to share revenue with its athletes. However, doing so would most likely put that school at a significant competitive disadvantage in athletic recruiting.
* 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 NCAA revenue sharing model.
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 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 of $ 20.5 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year:

The above data includes public NCAA Division I colleges only, comprehensive private school data is not currently available. For our sources of information see our Methodology page.
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 likely going to be 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. Revenue sharing will uproot this this long existing playing field, and drastically alter the competitive balance between big budget and small budget 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, scholarship restrictions on all NCAA I sports will be eliminated and roster limits will apply instead. 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. There are likely 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 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.
The above data includes public NCAA Division I colleges only, comprehensive private school data is not currently available. For our sources of information see our Methodology page.
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:

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.

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.
