flag The University of Maine joined NCAA revenue sharing to pay athletes but isn’t distributing funds yet, relying on NIL deals instead.

flag The University of Maine has joined the NCAA’s revenue-sharing agreement allowing schools to pay student-athletes, but it is not currently distributing funds, opting instead to preserve flexibility and avoid roster limits. flag While some Power Four schools are already paying athletes up to $200,000, UMaine’s athletes receive no direct payments, relying instead on modest NIL deals—mostly local appearances and promotions—for supplemental income. flag Only 18% of UMaine’s student-athletes have NIL agreements, and the university faces a 30% drop in conference revenue over the next decade to fund the settlement. flag Athletic leaders say recruiting is unaffected, with most athletes prioritizing opportunity over pay.
