NCAA roster caps from the House v. NCAA settlement take effect today, potentially cutting hundreds of athletes. The “Designated Student Athlete” rule offers roster flexibility. UNM isn’t expecting major changes but hasn’t confirmed how it’ll handle over-the-cap athletes.

Revenue-sharing payments for some University of New Mexico student-athletes will begin Tuesday, but UNM is withholding details. Public records requests for specific NIL agreements were denied, and only redacted contract templates were released. UNM cites FERPA and trade secret protections under New Mexico’s public records law, following a nationwide trend of withholding NIL terms. Payments will be distributed via Teamworks General Manager. Agreements are single-year and allow for value increases based on exposure rather than direct performance incentives. Legal action may be required for transparency.

Cortain Tomislav Buljan, a six-foot-nine forward from Zadar, Croatia, announced his commitment to Eric Olen and the Lobos on Friday via his Instagram account. He’s the 13th member to join the roster for the 2025-26 season.
