🔼 From The AD’s Desk. Dear Terrapin Nation,

College athletics is transforming right before our eyes. The era of conference realignment; Name, Image and Likeness (NIL); the transfer portal and litigation challenges have led to a revolution across the collegiate athletics landscape. From the beginning, the staff and coaches of Maryland Athletics have demonstrated innovation and resilience in navigating these new, turbulent waters.

In October, a U.S. District Judge gave preliminary approval on the settlement in the House v. NCAA case, paving the way for athletic departments to begin sharing revenue directly with student-athletes.

Starting with the 2025-26 season, we will be sharing the maximum-allowable amount of $20.5M with our student-athletes, with the vast majority of it going to our revenue-producing sports – football, men's basketball and women's basketball. This level of investment attests to our enduring commitment: to compete for conference and national championships.
