37 NCAA Division I tennis programs in Texas: rosters of 8 to 11, all with athletic aid, $14,810 a player in spending

37, as of the most recent EADA survey. Level Field Combine tracks every NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA tennis program with a public page.

9 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 8 and 11. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.

All 37 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $20,678 per athlete at the median. EADA reports aid by gender for the whole athletic department, not per team, so what a tennis award covers is a question for the coach. Programs at this level may award athletic scholarships, usually as partial awards spread across the roster in tennis.

$14,810 per player at the median in 2025, counting day-to-day operating costs such as travel, uniforms, equipment and game-day expenses (not coaching salaries or aid). Against each program's own division median, 25 spent above it and 7 below. The middle half of programs ran from $9,777 to $28,640.
