NCAA Changes Scholarship Rules To Provide More For Athletes
October 28, 2011 /
NY Timeshttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/28/sports/ncaa-changes-scholarship-rules.html
The N.C.A.A. Division I Board of Directors approved on Thursday a package of sweeping changes. Conferences will now have the option to add $2,000 in spending money to scholarship offers. Previously, scholarships covered the costs of tuition, room and board, books and fees.
Bowl Championship Series leagues are expected to quickly approve that change, but it is unclear how many other conferences can afford it. Any additional financing in men’s sports would have to be matched equally in women’s sports because of Title IX rules.Individual colleges will also have the option to give scholarships on a multiple-year basis or keep the current year-by-year model. The board also decided to phase in higher academic standards requirements over four years and change the summer basketball recruiting model.
