What National Collegiate Athletic Association does
Mission
Provide a world-class athletics and academic experience for student-athletes that fosters lifelong well-being.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The ncaa governs and administers college sports for more than 1,100 member colleges and universities. The ncaa operates through a governance structure, empowering schools in each division to guide and enhance their participation in college sports. The board of governors, led by member schools, serves as the senior governing body of the ncaa. Our diverse membership includes schools with student bodies that range from hundreds of students to tens of thousands. The current three-division structure creates fair sports competition for like-minded institutions and provides student-athletes with a wide spectrum of opportunities to participate in championship events.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $869M to $1.1B (+25%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of National Collegiate Athletic Association’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (5% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
Left out of every figure on this page: $2.2M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau). These are real filings, and they are not money National Collegiate Athletic Association raised.
From the IRS filings of National Collegiate Athletic Association’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
National Collegiate Athletic Association leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
69% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund National Collegiate Athletic Association.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
