ORLANDO – UCF Athletics is making a significant stride in its revenue sharing efforts with the launch of the Competitive Success Fund. Integrated into the ChargeOn Fund, this initiative, in addition to other revenue streams, strengthens the department’s ability to recruit, retain, and develop student-athletes as they compete at the highest levels. All contributions to the fund are tax-deductible.
On behalf of our student-athletes, we are grateful to The Kingdom and its supporters for creating NIL opportunities. Their leadership during the evolving landscape of college athletics has served us well. As announced in the fall, the integration of The Kingdom’s efforts into UCF Athletics positions the Knights for continued competitive growth.
Pending final approval of the House Settlement, beginning July 1, 2025, universities will be allowed to directly share revenue with student-athletes, in addition to providing already existing benefits such as scholarships, housing and meals. Revenue share to student-athletes at institutions in power conferences will be capped at $20.5 million in 2025-26 and gradually increases each year.
UCF is making strategic investments to directly benefit student-athletes through revenue sharing. One of the most impactful measures includes the addition of 74 new scholarships benefiting our Olympic sports, reinforcing the athletics department’s commitment to comprehensive educational services and post-graduate success.
The Competitive Success Fund plays a critical role in advancing UCF’s Mission XII initiative.
