Last week, in response to a Rick McAdoo post, I wrote > The Division I limit is still 18 full scholarships and, yes, they can > be divied up into partial scholarships - I don't know the logistics, > exactly. Don't forget about regular need-based financial aid as well. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tom Morrison responded Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but the last I knew (92-93) a recruited athlete who gets need based aide --that aide is considered athletic scholarship dollars. So what i am trying to say is-you can't recruit a bunch of players and get them need based aide and then use your scholarship $$$ for more players.. My knowledge of scholarship rules is all second-hand since I've dealt primarily with Ivy League sports, but former UVM defenseman Ted Madden tells me that non-scholarship players are entitled to full need-based aid. That comports with what I was told about B.C.'s situation and makes logical sense; otherwise players from wealthy families would have an unfair advantage as walk-ons. I'm sure some readers out there can settle this debate (hopefully in my favor). Geoff Howell The Trenton Times Drop the Puck
