Most collegiate sports programs in the United States do not produce any money, therefore most athletes would continue to be underpaid. Furthermore, the players would require a strong union to negotiate any revenue-sharing arrangement. However, some schools have begun to shift their model to include annual payments to their athletes. These can take the form of cash bonuses or prize money and many schools are doing so for the same reason: to attract and retain elite talent. Some universities have started to give out checks for winning the national championship. For example, the University of Georgia gave its football players $25,000 each after it beat Clemson to win the 2019 title. Oklahoma also did this and added a check for $100,000 to its roster of awards. Other schools including North Carolina, Ohio State, and Texas A&M have given out smaller checks but no less than $100,000. The total amount of money that these programs are giving out annually is growing larger. For example, UGA's award total was second only to Florida State's ($125,800) in 2019. This trend will likely continue as more schools follow suit. In addition to bonus checks, many athletes are being offered partial scholarships with the understanding that they will be awarded at the end of each season based on how they perform.
