CLEMSON — It is official. The House Settlement has been approved.

Federal Judge Claudia Wilken issued the ruling late Friday, signifying a massive shift in the landscape of college athletics.

The NCAA and conferences have agreed to amend their rules to permit schools to share $20.5 million in athletic revenues with their athletes for the 2025-’26 academic year, with the cap increasing over the next 10 years due to escalators and scheduled recalculations.

That money will come out of the athletic budget, and each school can decide on its own how it will distribute the revenue. Earlier this week, the NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors voted to eliminate more than 100 current rules from its handbook if the settlement is approved.

Another change that is coming with the settlement is the implementation of new roster limits. For football, the rosters will be limited to 105, and schools can choose to offer full scholarships for all 105 spots.

The changes are set to go into effect on July 1.

Wilken delayed final approval in April due to several athletes objecting to the part of the deal that includes roster limits. Those limits would have resulted in possibly thousands of athletes, including walk-ons, losing their spots. Lawyers on both sides agreed to change the deal so that no athletes currently on a roster will lose their spots.
