Scholarship, Aid, and Compensation
College sports are evolving faster than ever. With the landmark House v. NCAA ruling in 2025, the lines around what’s fair, legal, and ethical in athletic scholarships and compensation have shifted dramatically. The implementation of new NCAA roster limits as part of the settlement has created significant changes for student-athletes and schools, impacting scholarship offers, transfer strategies, and athlete support. Whether you're navigating offers, negotiating, or dealing with a revoked scholarship or roster spot, the legal complexities surrounding athletic financial aid can feel overwhelming.
At Christine Brown & Partners, we specialize in helping student-athletes and their families understand and protect their legal rights. Our team provides clear guidance on the legal landscape surrounding scholarships, recruitment, the transfer portal, NCAA roster limits and management, athlete compensation, and financial aid. You shouldn’t have to fight for fairness alone.
