DU is opting into the House-NCAA settlement, which would allow the Pioneers to share revenue with student-athletes, the university announced.

“Over the coming years, this will empower (DU) to provide additional support and infrastructure centered around student-athlete success,” athletic director Josh Berlo said via a university news release Wednesday.

CU, as a member of the Big 12, is required to opt into the settlement, which will allow schools to pay their student-athletes directly while capping roster sizes and increasing scholarship numbers.

But schools outside the traditional Power 4 have until Saturday to opt into the settlement, which could become official during a hearing slated for April 7.

The Buffs will be mandated to share an estimated $20 million in a revenue pool with student-athletes for the 2025-26 fiscal year. Non-Power 4 schools, such as DU, CSU or UNC, are not mandated, nor expected, to match that pool.

DU athletics declined an interview request by The Post for more details on how it intends to share its revenue with students.

Last Tuesday, the Colorado House of Representatives approved a bill that would allow the state’s public universities to pay student-athletes directly. House Bill 1041 passed by a 59-5 margin.

Once the settlement becomes official, schools opting in will be allowed to increase hockey scholarships from 18 to 26 next season.
