Mens D1
70 teams
3137 participants
avg roster size 45
scholarships allowed 12.6
avg. scholarship $14,151



So lets say tuition is $45k
$45k x 45 roster = $2.0m
12.6 scholarships x $45k = $567k
$567k / 45 players = $12,600 per player
$1.4m per year is unfunded

If the average award is $14,151 then probably the bottom third of all "committed roster players" GET NOTHING!

And $45k is cheap. My kid is looking at $60k schools so hit the books if you want any real money


Or another way to look at it - only 28% (12.6 / 45) of the average team's costs are covered by athletic scholarships. And for every stud that gets more, everyone else gets less.
