What is the NCAA minimum number of athletic scholarships a school at our classification must offer?

I don't know, but I'm betting it's zero. The Ivy League is FCS and offers no athletic scholarships. The Patriot League only recently started granting athletic scholarships. The Pioneer League also offers no athletic scholarships.

Hmmmmm! What was Chico's problem at WSSU with minimum scholarships? I guess I have to hunt that article down.

I think Chico's problem at WSSU was coming up with the money to support the programs. Here's a writeup I found. I don't know if it's accurate, but is reads good: In the NCAA Bylaws (Bylaw 20.9.1.2) in order to qualify for a Division I school you must have a financial aid expenditure in $985,923 total in 06-07. At least $492,961 of that has to be towards women's sports at the school. They have to have at least $1,049,022 in minimum financial aid in 2007-08 with $524,511 of that in women's sports. According to the same Bylaw, 50 full grants (financial aid scholarship/grants) with 25 in women's sports is the minimum for the football, men's and women's basketball combined. If the institution doesn't sponsor men's or women's basketball then then there is a minimum of 35 grants for the gender that is without the basketball team. All financial aid awards go towards the totals, so the schools that don't have "athletic scholarships" like Butler can count academic scholarships. There's also considerdation into whether the school can afford to host schools and support the costs of participating in a Division I conference. So it doesn't have anything to do with the number of the students as much as it does the facilities and number of athletic programs. There's a lot more to it then I could possibly fit here, but that's the main part of the requirements. You can read about in the NCAA Bylaws (The Division I requirements start with Bylaw 20.9 on page 372): www.ncaa.org/library/membership/d…answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070308203711AA0R8Tv |

Does A&T fall in the Category of exceptional reliance on federal assistance for students? |
