The full guide: eligibility, what to send, and how the roster cap changes the math.
Division by division
| Division | Programs | Spots | Median budget | Per player |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Division I | 68 | 1,259 | $414k | $25k |

Division I roster cap 19 from 2025-26: last season 24 programs carried more, 10 were exactly at it and 34 had room. Players already on a roster may stay, so the squeeze lands on the next classes. How the caps work.
Odds: 16% of high-school players hold an NCAA roster spot (1 in 6); 1 in 9 (11%) in Division I. Transfers and international players hold some of those spots. The honest version · every sport.
