For the vast majority of teams, the coaching staff and player have a post-season meeting where things are lined out and the player receives their offer for the next year. If you don't have anything in writing, and most players/parents will not have anything in writing, that meeting determines so much. For my child, I would say that her teammates that did not get much playing time saw their money reduced. Conversely, some had small or very small increases or that was the impression from parent complaints. I can't think of any player that received a big jump in money. Keep in mind that parents talk about this stuff but you can't really know if you are hearing the truth. BTW, it is funny to hear how all of these players have "full rides" and then, listen to the parents complain that their child didn't get a large enough increase in their athletic scholarship. LOL
