If you are running a mens D1 lacrosse team in the power 5 conferences, your limit is 12.6 full grants-in-aid. The full COA stipend is baked into the definition of what constitutes a full grant-in-aid. If you pay out more than 12.6 stipends, then you exceed the limit of 12.6 full grants-in-aid.
A 50% kid can get both cleats, a jersey with two sleeves, and pants with two legs. They also get one full seat on the bus, just like the 100% kid does. But the 50% kid can only get 50% of the stipend, 50% of tuition, 50% of fees, 50% of books, 50% of room and board.
Question No. 1: How will equivalencies be calculated for an institution who is a member of one of the five autonomy conferences?
Answer: The grant-in-aid will be redefined as equal to student-athlete’s cost of attendance. The denominator in the equivalency calculation will be increased to the value of cost of attendance. “Other expenses related to attendance,” or the difference between cost of attendance and a current grant-in-aid (tuition and fees, room and board and required course-related books) is an element of financial aid (see NCAA Bylaw 15.2.4) and will become an element of a full grant-in-aid under the new definition. Institutions in conferences other than the five autonomy conferences should refer to Question No. 8 in this section to determine how equivalencies will be calculated.
