BREAKING: Judge grants final approval to House v. NCAA!

The NCAA will pay roughly $2.6 billion in back damages over the next 10 years to athletes who competed in college between June 15, 2016 and Sept 15, 2024 for being denied NIL and athletic service compensation. Payments will be distributed annually.

The settlement covers around 390,000 Division I athletes.

Looking ahead, each school can share revenue with athletes, starting at $20.5M per year in 2025-26, increasing to around $30M over 10 years.

There will no longer be a scholarship limit (the previous limit for track and field was 12.6 for men and 18 for women).  But roster limits will be implemented: XC = 17, T&F = 45.

The final approval hearing was held on April 7. After hearing objections, mainly to roster limits, Judge Wilken told settlement parties to revise the terms or risk denial.

On May 17, lawyers added an amendment. Athletes who lost roster spots due to early enforcement of roster limits can be “grandfathered,” meaning they will not count against any roster cap for the rest of their eligibility. This applies whether they return to their original team or transfer.

These athletes, known as Designated Student-Athletes, include those who were on a 2024-25 roster or were recruited to be on a 2025-26 roster and were removed or would have been removed from the 2025-26 roster due to the roster limits.

However, schools are not required to bring these athletes back. It is optional, but if they do, those athletes will not count against the limit and schools can temporarily go over the cap until their eligibility ends.

This will all be implemented starting July 1st
