US EditionNCAA's House Settlement Era Begins, Shaking up College Athletics as some Schools Opt Out
UNITED STATES, JUL 1 – The $2.8 billion NCAA House settlement enables schools nationwide to pay athletes directly with a $20.5 million cap per school for 2025-26, creating new NIL regulations and revenue sharing.
- On July 1, 2025, the NCAA's House Settlement era launched, allowing athletic programs nationwide to share up to $20.5 million in revenue directly with student-athletes.
- Several schools, including UNO and Montana, opted out by the Monday deadline due to concerns over costs, Title IX compliance, and the uncertain landscape for smaller programs.
- UNO’s leadership developed a three-pronged plan starting a year ago and now plans to observe how revenue sharing affects other schools before participating themselves.

- This selective participation suggests a transitional period with smaller schools facing challenges competing against wealthier institutions that can financially reward athletes.
