Clemson Commits to Revenue Sharing and Expands Scholarships Ahead of NCAA Settlement

The university plans to distribute $20.5 million annually to athletes and add 150 scholarships across all sports by 2025.

Clemson will fully participate in the NCAA's proposed $2.8 billion settlement, allocating 22% of its annual athletic revenue—capped at $20.5 million—for athlete compensation starting in 2025.
Athletic director Graham Neff announced the university will increase scholarships from 275 to 425 across its 21 sports by the 2025-26 academic year, adding $6 million to its budget.
Clemson is creating a centralized 'Front Office' to manage revenue-sharing compliance, contract details, and allocation strategies for its athletes.
Coach Dabo Swinney expressed optimism about the revenue-sharing model, viewing it as a way to level the playing field in the NIL era, despite challenges posed by NIL and the transfer portal.
The university is integrating its NIL collective, the 110 Society, with its long-standing IPTAY donor program, offering incentives to encourage contributions ahead of the settlement's implementation.
