Do you think maybe parents are exaggerating the % they repeat was offered to their son? A lot of kids get a proud parent brag scholarship as one assistant coach said. $1000 a year to say you are a scholarship athlete is worth a million to the parents and the kids. Some kids get a big % offer but most can't get much. 12.6 is all they have to give out.
12.6 is if the program is fully funded. The average is about 20-25%. So some may get more, some less or none. I am trying to find the report I saw a few months ago that I think was put out by the NCAA. It showed the average athletic grant per program. If I remember correctly Marist and Jacksonville were the lowest at D-1. A little above $4,000. Most averaged between the 10,000-12,000 range. This was for lacrosse specifically but they had a report for each sport.
