App Family,
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken gave final approval to the landmark House v. NCAA settlement. This approval marks a defining moment in college athletics and the start to a new era for App State Athletics.
For the first time, beginning on July 1, 2025, institutions will be permitted to directly share revenue with student-athletes. Additionally, the settlement removes previous scholarship limits while establishing new scholarship and roster parameters.
A newly formed College Sports Commission has been created to facilitate revenue sharing and to ensure that NIL deals made between student-athletes and third parties are fair and comply with the established rules.
