Academic $$ counting towards Athletic Scholarships

M masterofnone100+ posts

2014 son committed almost 2 years ago to small private D1.  Coach offered 25% and also handed us a list of clip levels by GPA and SAT scores to reach different levels of academic money.  These scholarships and corresponding clip levels are available to everyone in the school.  Son was at the level to get 33% of academic money, so total was 58%.  Son committed based on that financial situation.  Son is a senior now, and we were just notified that even though he qualifies for the academic money, there are separate clip levels set by the NCAA.  If you do not hit one of those clip levels, the academic money counts towards the 11.7 athletic scholarships.  So we received the offer for the academic scholarship from admissions, but the coach is pulling the 25% athletic scholarship.

 

I was not aware of those separate NCAA clip levels.  The only condition I was aware of was that the scholarship qualifications needed to be available for the general student population...   which they are.  Is anyone on the board familiar with this rule?

Here is a post from Rick from Informed Athlete. Also, reach out to 3fingerglove, he can direct you to the exact NCAA rule.

 

I had experience with this when my son received BB money & Business School money. BB team advisor had to clear it through the schools channels so the Business School scholarship did not affect the 11.7.

 

If an athlete is getting both an athletic scholarship and academic scholarship(s), the athlete must meet one of these four criteria for the academic scholarship(s) to be exempt from counting against the team's limit of 11.7:

 

1. Top 10% of HS graduating class,

2. Cumulative GPA of at least 3.500,

3. ACT sum score of at least 105, or

4. SAT score of at least 1200 on reading and math portions.
