Now that the LSU and Coastal Carolina will face off in the 2025 Men’s College World Series (MCWS) final, fans are more than excited to know who the next champion will be.
However, there are more factors to consider than just the titlee. Although the NCAA does not give cash awards to the winner, the money effect of winning the MCWS is big and wide.

No cash, but wealth gain
Unlike pro sports, the NCAA does not pay the winning team of the College World Series. According to Sportskeeda the NCAA makes over $10 million each year from the baseball event through tickets, sponsorships, and TV rights. The thing is that this money goes to conferences and schools based on how they do in all NCAA sports, not just baseball.
So, while LSU or Coastal Carolina won’t get money right away for winning, the other benefits that come with a win are huge.
Where does the benefits come from?
Here’s what a national title can mean in real money:
- More donations and support: A win often leads to more money given by alumni and supporters, especially at schools with passionate fans like LSU.
- Merchandise sales: Champs’ gear sells fast, which brings in money for the sports department and helps the school’s name get more visible.
- Ticket sales and attendance: More people come to the games next season, which means more money made at the gates.
- Recruiting power: Doing well nationally helps pull in top players, which keeps the winning and money coming for years.
- Coach bonuses: Coaches often get extra money if they do well under their contracts. A national title might mean big bonuses for the coaches and their teams.
NIL deals and player fame
While players do not get prize money from the NCAA, the new Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights have changed things. A good run to the championship can make a player much more appealing, leading to:
- Local and national deals
- Social media exposure
- More visibility on them for the MLB Draft
For instance, LSU’s star pitcher Kade Anderson, who had a no-run game in Game 1, could see more interest in NIL and draft rank.
Coastal Carolina players are also getting noticed, especially after a 26-game winning streak before the finals.
The money at stake also depends on the schools’ sports budgets. LSU, with a budget of about $200 million, can take advantage of a win fast. Coastal Carolina, with a smaller budget of about $45 million, gains even more from the fame and trust that would come after a hypothetical second title in less than ten years.
The legacy factor
Beyond financial prices, a College World Series title secures a program’s history. For LSU, it would be their eighth title, backing their status as the top college baseball team ever. For Coastal Carolina, a second win since 2016 shows their first was no luck and they are here to stay.
No trophy money in Omaha, but the financial effects of winning the Men’s College World Series are clear. From NIL deals and support from donors to better recruiting and brand growth, the winner between LSU or Coastal Carolina, gets much more than just a chance to boast.

Behind the Wisconsin v. Miami tampering lawsuit over transfer DB Xavier Lucas that was months in the making
The legal enforceability of a revenue share agreement between a football player and institution is at the crux of a landmark legal case between two Power Four schools that could have wide-ranging implications. The University of Wisconsin sued the University of Miami on Friday over alleged tampering and tortious interference of a two-year agreement with defensive back Xavier Lucas, a member of the Badgers' 2024 team. Lucas is not mentioned by name in the lawsuit -- only referred to as Student-Athlete A -- but all of the details line up after he left Wisconsin in January to join Miami's football program as the No. 1 cornerback in the transfer portal. Wisconsin alleges that Miami intentionally interfered and tampered with Lucas' deal with the Badgers not long after he received a substantial payment following the deal's execution. "Miami's interference caused Student-Athlete A […]

If the internet/social media had existed during this game, it would have broken into a million pieces.

England’s Harry Brook and his uneasy relationship with India
Perhaps it should not have come as too much of a surprise to see Mohammed Siraj aiming a verbal barrage at Harry Brook during his helter-skelter performance on his home ground.The dark art of sledging — usually bowlers letting batters know exactly what they think of them— is less common than it once was in these days of cricketers from opposing countries becoming more and more familiar with each other in franchise competitions.AdvertisementBut England’s white-ball captain is something of a rarity in having an uneasy relationship with the most powerful country in cricket, which was evident in Siraj’s outburst and India’s joyous celebrations when they dismissed him one run short of a century in the first Test.This was an eventful first Test innings against India for England’s gifted 26-year-old. There were spectacular shots in front of an appreciative Headingley audience […]
