Husker_Power Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Today was the first day in which there was a student athlete panel at the NCAA Power 5 meeting. The vote, taken during the NCAA's annual convention, redefines an athletic scholarship so that it can cover not only the traditional tuition, room, board, books and fees, but also the incidental costs of attending college. That means a scholarship will now be able to pay for items including transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses.From USATODAY.com http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2015/01/17/ncaa-convention-cost-of-attendance-student-athletes-scholarships/21921073/ Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 n another significant change, the schools and the reps narrowly approved legislation that will prevent schools and coaches from choosing not to renew an athlete's scholarship for athletic reasons. Under the system that has been in place, most athletic scholarships are subject to annual renewal. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 How is it determined if an incidental expense is one that a school is allowed to pay for? Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I watched this over the weekend. Some good information about what goes on but they could have done a better job of finding student athletes to interview. Quote Link to comment
