The University of Maine joined NCAA revenue sharing to pay athletes but isn’t distributing funds yet, relying on NIL deals instead.
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.
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.
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.
Athletic leaders say recruiting is unaffected, with most athletes prioritizing opportunity over pay.
