How NIL/House Settlement Is Changing Our Sport with Bill Dorenkott & Brendon Bray 

The meeting discussed the impact of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) and the House settlement on collegiate swimming. Bill Dorncott and Brendan Bray highlighted the evolving landscape, noting that NIL deals are now capped at $600 per athlete. Ohio State's budget is $300 million, with $20.5 million allocated for student-athletes. Roster limits are set at 30 men and 30 women, affecting recruitment and scholarships. The House settlement allows universities to share $20.5 million among athletes, impacting budgets and staffing. Coaches emphasized the need for creativity and proactive management to navigate these changes.
