House Settlement Opt-Ins
By Kristi Dosh
Last Updated on July 27, 2025
As part of the House settlement, Division I institutions can now share revenue with their athletes. All current members of the five conferences who were part of the lawsuit will participate, along with dozens of other schools that opted in by the June 30, 2025 deadline. In total, 319 (82%) of Division I institutions opted in.
Schools that opt in are now subject to the new roster limits. Those who chose not to opt in will abide by the scholarship limits in the 2024-25 NCAA handbook. In future years, schools must notify the NCAA if they’re opting in or out by March 1st.
For the 2025-26 school year, schools that opted in can share up to $20.5 million with their athletes. Each school will determine how much revenue it shares and which athletes receive revenue sharing.
An important side note: all Division I athletes are now required to submit NIL deals of $600 or more (in the aggregate with the same party) to NILGo, the NIL clearinghouse run by Deloitte, regardless of opt-in status.
