Competitive Athletics at Universities | Alternatively, Campus-Level Sports Events
The 2025-26 academic year will see the Rocky Mountain NCAA Division I universities joining the ranks of 365 institutions competing at the highest level sponsored by the NCAA. However, there is no publicly available information specifying the position or status of these universities regarding a significant change – direct athlete payments, estimated to reach $20.5 million in the 2025-26 season.
Traditionally, the NCAA has offered scholarships to student-athletes, but direct payments on such a scale are not typically detailed or publicly available in current data for these universities. This shift in financial support represents a new era for the Rocky Mountain Division I universities, as they navigate this uncharted territory.
