On June 6, 2025, Judge Claudia Wilken gave final approval of the House vs. NCAA case, which will drastically alter the landscape of intercollegiate athletics. This settlement creates a new framework for the business of college sports that allows schools to provide direct financial benefits to student-athletes. Beginning July 1, 2025, Division I schools will have the option to distribute up to $20.5 million per year to student-athletes. Now that the House settlement is in effect and SMU has directly taken on the responsibility for revenue-sharing with student-athletes, we invite you to continue your support through the newly created Student-Athlete Benefit Fund. Your tax-deductible contribution to the fund will play a vital role in sustaining SMUs recent momentum and preparing the university for the next era of intercollegiate athletics.
