NCAA settlement: Maine's direct revenue-share allocation and third-party collective deals funded by boosters, alumni, and corporate sponsors. We compile it from publicly disclosed contracts, collective funding announcements, athletic department reporting, and cross-referenced industry valuations, with Football the largest single-sport allocation at $450K.
