Outside of basketball Financial Aid is not even taken into consideration for rosters and limits. In basketball only recruited individuals receiving aid are counted and must stay below the 13 limit for men, 15 for women. However, anyone not recruited under the Ivy definition or recruiting but not receiving institutional aid is not counted towards the 13/15.The Director of Financial Aid must sign off that all student-athletes were awarded institutional financial aid under the same formula as the rest of the student body and report that to the Ivy League offices annually. It is not uncommon for highly sought recruits to be ruled out because their award package is not high enough and their out of pocket expenses will be too high and they'd rather get a full scholarship elsewhere.
"I've got a guy..."
like I said, you already did.Long time lurker here but being an expert in this area I figured I'd register and correct misinformation. I apologize if it hurt your feelings.
Ahem..."Head count sports = FULL RIDEEquivalency sports = partials or full ridehttp://www.athleticscholarships.net/sports-scholarships/head-count-versus-equivalency-scholarships.htmBlack and white. Been this way since I worked in various athletic departments and I don't think anything has changed it. We're going through this with my son right now, who would be in an equivalency sport."I'd be interested to see what you characterize as emphatic. I suppose you could have said, "...and nothing has changed." But otherwise, when you're using all caps and dropping a "Black and white" on me, I'd consider that pretty emphatic.
My business partner's son attends Pepperdine and plays golf for the school. He gets 15k a year for golf from the school.
I know the answer already. Chicos is just waiting to talk with someone at NCAA who actually knows the correct answer -- because he's been misinformed twice so far.
This is one of Chico's weirder disagreements. Is he trying to prove the schools recruiting your child were violating the rules? I don't know why he's dismissing "real word experience".
No one is implying anyone is breaking the rules at all.Stillawarrior...I will PDF the emails to you via PM tonight directly from the NCAA. You can see if I asked the question correctly, the back and forth clarity questions, but he said headcount sports are full or none. I don't know what else to say.You can take a look at the emails yourself. Peace
Would love to see the emails. Again, the question is whether it would hypothetically be allowed if a school - for whatever reason - decided to give less than full grant-in-aid. That's it. "Direct from the NCAA" doesn't mean it's correct because someone works there...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet but Wally placed 3rd at the Drake Relays this weekend with a jump of 2.18m (7-01.75 ft) Looks like he is still a full 10 cm (4 inches) off the qualifying height for Rio so I would guess his best Olympic chances are Tokyo 2020. http://results.deltatiming.com/drake/tf/2016-drake-relays/160427F150http://www.usatf.org/Events---Calendar/2016/U-S--Olympic-Team-Trials---Track---Field/Athlete-Information/Qualifying-Standards.aspx
Looks like he is still a full 10 cm (4 inches) off the qualifying height for Rio so I would guess his best Olympic chances are Tokyo 2020.
...literally cut and paste the question to him.
In all of the above situation, in a head count sport the student-athlete uses one of the counter spots towards the NCAA limit. Head count sports are limited to the number of scholarships they give, it is not mandatory that they give the full amount.In fact, under bylaw 15.5.1.1, a recruited student-athlete in football or basketball who receives only institutional aid becomes a counter against the limit once they compete in a varsity intercollegiate contest. As the late, great Paul Harvey used to say: "and know you know the rest of the story."
Pretty bad for any dude to fall 4 inches short, ai na?
