One year after the implementation of the House v. NCAA settlement, Oregon Athletics has successfully navigated one of the most significant transitions in college athletics history. Together, our donors, fans, and Oregon Athletics fully funded $20.5 million in additional scholarships and revenue sharing during the 2025–26 academic year, providing more opportunities for Oregon student-athletes than ever before. These investments helped fuel success across Oregon Athletics, supporting championship performances and national prominence across multiple programs, including:

As we approach year two under the House Settlement, our job is not finished, and our commitment is unwavering. Due to the escalating revenue-sharing cap, Oregon Athletics must now raise $21.3 million to support student-athletes and sustain broad-based excellence across all 20 programs.
The SHOUT! Campaign is our response to this challenge. Through SHOUT!, we are growing our donor base, strengthening philanthropic support, and ensuring Oregon Athletics remains positioned to compete at the highest level. While many Power Four athletic departments have resources that allow them to absorb these costs more easily, Oregon faces unique challenges, including a smaller stadium capacity, a smaller alumni base, and a partial share of Big Ten media revenue. As a result, philanthropy plays a critical role in our ability to invest in student-athletes and maintain our competitive edge.
Multi-year commitments are especially valuable, providing the stability and predictability needed to sustain this annual investment in Oregon student-athletes.
Your support through the Duck Athletic Fund and the SHOUT! Campaign directly impacts Oregon student-athletes in three key ways:
 |
The House Settlement replaced traditional scholarship limits with roster-based limits, creating new opportunities for student-athletes across all sports. In 2025-26, Oregon Athletics provided 41.4 additional scholarship opportunities. These scholarships help student-athletes focus on their academic and athletic pursuits while ensuring every program has the resources needed to compete. |
 |
During the 2025-26 academic year, Oregon Athletics fully funded and distributed $20.5 million in revenue sharing and additional scholarships for student-athletes. This milestone was made possible through the generosity of more than 300 Duck Athletic Fund donors. In 2026-27, that investment will increase to $21.3 million, making continued philanthropic support essential to sustaining these opportunities and attracting top talent to Oregon. |
 |
Oregon Athletics is committed to providing coaches, student-athletes, and all 20 programs with the resources necessary to compete for conference and national championships. Your support helps sustain Oregon’s tradition of excellence by funding critical resources, advancing student-athlete development, and positioning every program for long-term success. |

“The impact from donor support shows up constantly. Everything is easier. Having access to food in the morning, our facilities, travel, and all of the opportunities we have as a team, it's huge for us.”
The House Settlement, a result of three major class-action lawsuits, revolutionizes how college athletics operates. Here are the key elements to the settlement:
In 2025-26, Oregon Athletics fully funded the first year of revenue sharing and expanded scholarship opportunities for student-athletes. As the annual cap increases and back-pay obligations continue, philanthropic support will be essential to sustaining broad-based excellence across all 20 programs.
Oregon Athletics is extremely fortunate to have one of the most passionate fan bases in the country. We have experienced an extraordinary rise to become one of the premier athletic departments while doing so with a smaller football stadium and alumni base compared to other top collegiate programs.
Now is the time to build on our momentum:
The House Settlement has created a new era of college athletics, but Oregon’s commitment to student-athletes remains unchanged.
Together, supporters like you and Oregon Athletics funded $20.5 million in additional scholarships and revenue sharing during the first year of the settlement. Now, with the annual investment increasing to $21.3 million, we must continue building the philanthropic support necessary to sustain championship opportunities for every student-athlete.
Together, we can ensure Oregon Athletics remains a national leader, providing student-athletes with the resources to compete, learn, and thrive.
SHOUT! For the Ducks – an anthem to champion our student-athletes and secure the future of Oregon Athletics.
