The Big 10 is making some changes now that the power 5 conferences have gained a bit more autonomy from the NCAA.

The changes proposed by the Big Ten are as follows:
-Cost of Education: Redefine full grant-in-aid to meet a student-athlete’s cost of education, as determined by the federal government.
-Multi-Year Scholarships: Guarantee all scholarships. If a student-athlete is no longer able to compete, for whatever reason, there should be no impact on institutions’ commitment to deliver an undergraduate education.
-Lifetime Educational Commitment: Ensure that scholarships are available for life. If a student-athlete leaves a university for a professional career before graduating, whether the career materializes, and regardless of its length, the scholarship will be honored after his or her playing days are complete.
-Medical Insurance: Provide improved, consistent medical insurance for student-athletes.
