Per a settlement in the House v. NCAA federal case in which former Arizona State swimmer Grant House was the lead plaintiff, colleges will be allowed to share revenue with athletes. Instead of limiting scholarship money doled out to each sport, rosters will have hard caps with universities given the option to offer full scholarships to all members. Walk-ons will no longer exist. This new model will apply in Division I major conferences (the SEC, ACC, Big Ten and Big 12) plus any other conferences who opt in and thus receive clearance to distribute money directly to athletes.

“I’ve tried to be as transparent as I can be,” Bowman said. “We just haven’t put our head in the sand and acted like it’s not happening. In the first meeting we talked about it and everyone knows. What we have tried to do is make it as objective as we can. Everybody here has a chance and has had a chance over the last six months to kind of put their best foot forward, and then we kind of look at the numbers.”
The blunt reality, Bowman said, is that if “you haven’t swum a time that would score any points at SECs, you’re not going to be moving forward.” He added, “We’re here to help you with your next thing,” suggesting that he and his staff would coordinate and advocate on behalf of the many Texas swimmers who will undoubtedly enter the transfer portal and seek opportunities to compete at other schools. Bowman added that he hoped to obtain waivers on behalf of his swimmers to enter the transfer portal before its official window to get a head start on finding a new team.
