Full Cost of Attendance Scholarships

Re: Full Cost of Attendance Scholarships

Does anyone know how this new concept is going to be applied to non-revenue generating sports like women's hockey? My assumption is that the "Power 5 conference" schools with women's hockey programs (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Boston College, Penn St & Ohio St) WILL have to provide the full cost of attendance scholarships to all athletes, even women's hockey players, but I have not seen that stated anywhere. If this is correct, then the 6 schools listed could use the additional monies to be offered as additional recruiting 'chips', not the Minnesota, Wisconsin or BC need that in most cases.

From this article (http://chronicle.com/article/At-Least-15-Athletics-Programs/229229/) the additional monies that can be offered for the 6 schools listed above are:

- BC: $1,400
- SU: $1,632
- Minnesota: $2,194
- Ohio St: $2,602
- Wisconsin: $4,316
- Penn St: $4,788

Keep in mind that these dollar amounts are spread out over a 9-month academic cycle each year.

Anyone have any more/better information?
 
Re: Full Cost of Attendance Scholarships

Most of the Big 10 schools have announced that they will provide FCOA scholarships for all athletes. I know that Minnesota is one of them that has.

Maybe a stupid question here, but could teams take the extra money available and just spread it out further to athletes that are not on full rides? Meaning, can a player be awarded a dollar amount, as opposed to a %? $4000 (+/-) extra x 18 scholarships is another $72000 in the budget. Could that $72k be treated as if it was another 1 1/2 scholarships?

It would seem that just as with the current scholarship rules the programs can slice the pie up how they like. If they take the "extra" amount and give it to someone else rather than somebody who is currently on a full ride, then by the new definition, that ride is no longer full, at least compared to what it could have been.

No. It's pro-rated like your scholarship percentage. So a full ride kid gets 100% FCOA
