West Virginia University has announced a substantial financial commitment to its student-athletes, allocating millions under the recently implemented college sports revenue-sharing model. The university confirmed it is fully funding the initial annual amount of $20.5 million, a key provision of the House v. NCAA settlement that took effect on July 1, 2025.
