<p>re: ""So if you were to have a career-ending injury your first year, then for years 2,3 and 4 you would find yourself paying the same amount of money for the UR as for D, “”</p>
<p>Per NCAA Bylaw 15.3.4, athletically-related financial aid shall not be increased, reduced, or canceled during the period of an award:
*On the basis of the student-athlete’s athletic ability or contribution to a team’s success;
*Due to an injury that prevents the student-athlete from participating in athletics; or,
For any other athletically-related reason.</p>
<p>Athletics aid may be reduced or cancelled immediately if the student-athlete:
*Becomes ineligible for intercollegiate competition;
*Fraudulently misrepresents any information on an application, letter of intent, or official University records;
*Engages in serious misconduct warranting substantial disciplinary penalty; or,
*Voluntarily withdraws from a sport for personal reasons</p>
<p>Most coaches “medical hardship=redshirt” injured scholarship players while they rehab,so no eligible years are lost.
Career ending injury scholarship players become non counter scholarships, allowing the athlete to graduate.</p>
<p>An Ivy League player may, when injured, go home to rehab, so they would not have to pay for school/while not playing.</p>
<p>I agree, Richmond is a great school.
I’d save money for grad school.</p>
