$5.7Mathletic aid to men’s athletes at San Diego State University

That is 52% of all athletic aid at San Diego State University, shared by 223 men’s athletes: about $25,668 each on average. The school also spent $1.2M recruiting men’s athletes.

Roster rules changed in 2025. Since 1 July 2025, Division I schools that joined the House v. NCAA settlement cap men’s golf rosters at 9 and may fund a scholarship for every rostered player (the old limit was 4.5 scholarships). San Diego State University reported 13 participants in 2024-2025, so expect fewer roster spots for incoming players than a few years ago. Current athletes may be grandfathered.
