LITTLE ROCK, ARK. – As UA Little Rock and Trojan Athletics chart a path to ensure future competitiveness, success and growth opportunities in a new era of Intercollegiate Athletics, the institution has decided to 'Opt In' on the House v. NCAA settlement, a landmark resolution addressing Student-Athlete compensation.

The decision allows Little Rock to develop a more sustainable and equitable model for Intercollegiate Athletics. Terms of the settlement establish opportunities for the Trojans to Share Revenue with its Student-Athletes for use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights, allowing the institution to allocate resources directly to Student-Athletes while maintaining championship-caliber programs.
