Indiana University Cuts 25 Athletic Department Positions Ahead of Athlete Revenue Sharing

The university is reducing its athletic department budget by 10% as it prepares to implement revenue sharing with athletes this year.

Indiana University has eliminated 25 athletic department positions, including approximately a dozen vacant roles, as part of budget cuts.
The decision is tied to preparations for athlete revenue sharing, which is expected to begin in 2025.
Budget reductions across divisions like compliance and communications aim to trim costs by 10% without affecting sports programs or coaching staff.
Those affected by the cuts were formally notified in a letter sent last Thursday, according to reports.
The university has not made a public announcement about the layoffs, with details confirmed through anonymous sources and multiple outlets.
