$14.0Mathletic aid to men’s athletes at Wake Forest University

That is 65% of all athletic aid at Wake Forest University, shared by 279 men’s athletes: about $50,001 each on average. The school also spent $1.5M 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 soccer rosters at 28 and may fund a scholarship for every rostered player (the old limit was 9.9 scholarships). Wake Forest University reported 30 participants in 2024-2025, so expect fewer roster spots for incoming players than a few years ago. Current athletes may be grandfathered.
