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 | 301 | 2,689 | $546k | $62k |
| Division II | 178 | 1,728 | $193k | $21k |

Division I roster cap 10 from 2025-26: last season 54 programs carried more, 50 were exactly at it and 194 had room. Players already on a roster may stay, so the squeeze lands on the next classes. How the caps work.
Odds: 3.8% of high-school players hold an NCAA roster spot (1 in 27); 1 in 76 (1.3%) in Division I. Transfers and international players hold some of those spots. The honest version · every sport.
