Would be good for student athletes, IMO.

You can do this now, you just need a 3.5GPA or 1270 SAT (ACT equiv) for it not to count.

"just" 
Fair enough, I wonder if the NCAA will then change the requirement for keeping them stacked. I believe you now need to maintain a 3.0 which is usually higher than a school's requirement.
I could see this being a benefit for a student who may meet a school's requirement for merit but not the 3.5/1270. Prior to my son re-taking his SATs he had an offer that just included academic money because it was higher than the baseball money being offered and he didn't have the scores to stack.
Is the NCAA attempting to do something that makes sense and for the betterment of college baseball? Wow!

Not internal need-based aid. This is the real difference maker. I'm guessing this is the reason Ivy doesn't offer athletic scholarships; they would not be able to recruit and compete at the D1 level if they offered athletic aid.
This feels like a bandaid to help with the mess the NCAA created with addition Corona years of eligibility. It's another dodge of the need to increase the 11.7.
Looks like it passed.
