The problem with this rule is it is not only sport scholarships,but
academic scholarships also.  For example if a freshman receives an
academic scholarship then decides that he wants the total college
experience, walks on to a hockey program,plays he is now counted as
one of the 18 hockey scholarships.
 
The general mood is that this should help the smaller schools,but I fail
to see how. In my opinon schools that must also consider academic ability
coupled with athletic ability when recruiting this as to be a major obstacle.
If the student-athlete is granted an academic scholarship why not let him
take it and not count against the 18?
