MALIBU, Calif - Pepperdine Director of Athletics Tanner Gardner released the following statement regarding the NCAA v. House settlement.

"The approval of the House vs NCAA Settlement on Friday marks a significant moment in the history of college athletics. The Settlement permits institutions to invest in student-athletes in new ways through revenue-sharing and additional scholarships. Over the past year, we have been diligently preparing for this moment in collaboration with our university leadership, and we are ready to strategically move forward. We will do this while staying true to our values and pursuing a unique, ambitious vision to be a championship athletic program fueled by Christian values, academic excellence, and community. 

Coming off a year in which we won five conference championships and earned six NCAA postseason berths, all while achieving the highest department GPA in Pepperdine Athletics history, the future is bright. We look forward to partnering with the Pepperdine community to thrive in this new era of college athletics."
