Full list of schools ‘opting-in’ to revenue sharing payments to athletes released
The newly formed College Sports Commission on Tuesday released a list of every school that will participate in the new revenue-sharing model for direct compensation to student-athletes.
Every school in the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12 is automatically part of the program, while schools from other conferences can “opt-in” each year by notifying the NCAA. June 30 was this year’s deadline, which will change to March 1 in future years.
As of July 1, NCAA Division I schools could begin to directly share revenue with student-athletes. Those payments were over and above any outside Name, Image and Likeness deals the players were able to secure on their own.
In addition to Alabama and Auburn, each of the other eight Division I schools in the state have opted-in to revenue-sharing this season. That includes Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Jacksonville State, North Alabama, Samford, South Alabama, Troy and UAB.
The complete list of participating schools — which numbers 319 — can be viewed on the CSC website.
