This set the bar for the Mountain West and Pac 2. I not sure how the Sun Belt, MAC and CUSA will respond. This looks like $3.3 million per year. As a comparison, UND spend approximately $1 million annually on Alston Awards. So, I am not what to think of this - is this too low or about right and can all G6 schools compete.

As part of this “Minimum Investment Program,” schools must share with athletes at least $10 million in cumulative additional benefits over a three-year period, starting with the 2025-26 academic year.
Schools can reach the required $10 million figure through a combination of benefits now available to them through the settlement of the House antitrust lawsuit. Schools can include as additional benefits (1) up to $2.5 million in new scholarships and (2) direct revenue they share with athletes, as well as (3) up to $2.5 million in Alston payments — a stipend that some schools have been distributing to their athletes.
