What you can receive

NCAA settlement payments are at least $5,000 per valid claimant. The minimum guaranteed payment applies before any court-approved deductions. Your actual payment may be higher, depending on factors such as the school, sport, and years you coached; the number of valid claims filed; the wages of the lowest-paid coach on your team; and the total amount of court-approved fees and costs deducted from the fund. Payments will be distributed in three equal installments , with the first scheduled no earlier than August 15, 2026, and subsequent payments one and two years after that. You can choose to receive payment by ACH direct deposit or mailed check.
