Power 4 conferences have something called Alston money which is roughly 7000 dollars a year which is going away due to this settlement. If softball receives 1% split between 25 girls it’s barely more than that, if a team chose to split it evenly. If scholarships increase to full rides then there will be additional cost of living money paid to the athlete which also would essentially replace the Alston money. This presumes a fully funded program which many schools will choose not to do. It’s my analysis this will be either a wash or a slight gain in the amount of money each softball athlete receives. However should a power 4 program choose not to fund their program fully and not divide their revenue share equally an athlete could see a decrease in funds due to loss of the Alston.
