There is going to have to be a shaking out period for sure as this moves forward. If you read the proposals on this point from last year’s NCAA meetings, including the one that passed, it seems obvious that the intention was to cover headcount sports and the requisite female equivalents. But if some of you are right and the schools are going to provide full COA to partials, then obviously the scholarship caps just got raised.
@twoinandone, I think you are talking well north of a million per year, by the way. A fully funded program has 400 ish scholarships? At 5k per that is $2,000,000 per year. Now if you start giving every partial recipient the full COA, that cost will go much higher, since far more kids are on partials than are head counts.
