“The NCAA finalized the payment structure for the Ray settlement, totaling $303 million, which will be paid over a three-year period beginning this summer.

To fund the $101 million-per-year payment across fiscal years 2026-28, $60.6 million (60%) will come from reductions to Division I revenue distributions and $40.4 million (40%) will come from the NCAA national office. The national office's contributions include a combined $10 million from Divisions II and III.
