JUCO to DII part 2......

B 1BDad100+ posts
Sorry for the repost, but you guys are the smartest baseball folks I know....

I was checking the DII manual. So if he meets the requirement out of high school that is referenced in a....does he still have to meet the requirement in b? It says if he does not meet the requirement in a...and has completed at least 1 year of college.

He meets the requirement of a.

Any thoughts? Am I off base??

Here's the copied info....

15.02.4.3 Exempted Institutional Financial Aid. The following institutional financial aid is exempt and
is not counted in determining a student-athlete’s full grant-in-aid or cost of attendance, or in the institution’s
financial aid limitations: (Revised: 1/12/04 effective 8/1/04)
(a) Academic awards below; (Revised: 1/10/91, 1/10/92)
(1) Academic awards that are part of the institution’s normal arrangements for academic scholarships,
awarded independently of athletics interests and in amounts consistent with the pattern of all such
awards made by the institution are exempt from an institution’s equivalency computation, provided:
(a) The recipient was ranked in the upper 20 percent of the high school graduating class or achieved
a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.500 (based on a maximum of 4.000) or a minimum
ACT sum score of 100 or a minimum SAT score of 1050 (if taken prior to April 1, 1995)
or 1140 (if taken on or after April 1, 1995). An institution may exempt an academic honor
award from both individual and institutional equivalency limits if the recipient qualifies for
the award under minimum institutional criteria and satisfies any of the criteria set forth in this
bylaw, regardless of whether the institution considered any of the qualifying criteria in making
the award; or (Revised: 1/14/02)
(b) The recipient does not qualify under (a) and has completed at least one academic year in college
and achieved a cumulative grade-point average of 3.300 (on a 4.000 scale) for all academic work

I do not have any clue about how monies or scholarships would break out. I am only commenting on his ability to transfer from a JUCO to a D-2 as a qualifier out of HS. My son was a qualifier out of HS and dropped a class his 2nd year of JUCO which kept him from obtaining his AA. However, since he was a qualifier out of HS his transfer was accepted.

I apologize, I did not fully read your question. When my son was offered at the programs he signed with, the recruiter told him what the offer was. It ended up being a number of different awards that were cobbled together. We did not care how it was cobbled, we wanted to know how much it would cost us. I would expect that the recruiter is able to tell you this number.

You're certainly not off-base in your thinking. The D2 rule does seem to say that a player who met certain thresholds in high school could receive a scholarship which is exempt from equivalency calculations, regardless of his subsequent academic record. Note that this is very different from D1 rules, which explicitly requires transfer students to have a 3.3 GPA, and requires a 3.3 cumulative GPA in each following year.

However, such an academic scholarship has to be awarded under the same requirements as any other student. In order to be sure that a player meets condition (1)(a) you'd need to know exactly the policy of the college regarding academic aid to transfer students, as well as the policy regarding renewal of aid. The renewal policy is important, because if the player doesn't meet the college requirement in his second or subsequent years, he may get cut simply because the program is at the 9.0 limit.

I looked to see if D2 has a pending proposal to tighten up the requirements, and I don't see one. (D1 tightened effective August 2010.) But that search showed that this particular rule was combined from two rules in an attempt at simplification, and it is possible that D2 actually interprets the rule so that (1)(a) only applies to players in their initial year of enrollment.

Probably worth asking the coach or the NCAA about it.
