As for the scholarships, it is my understanding that most schools will certainly increase their football scholarships from the current 85 to the proposed 105. Basketball already gives 14 so there is not alot to pick up there to the proposed 15. In turn due to Title 9, schools will increase womens scolarships by the same number of increased male scholarships. What sports and how many scholoarships to any given womens sports is anyones guess. I do not think many if any will increase to 38 full scholarship across the board especially when you consider more than half the girls on a D1 WLAX roster will rarely see meaningful or any minutes at all. In short, at the end of the day these athletic programs are businesses that just got hit with a huge additional variable cost. I am not aware of many businesses that pay the same wages to the receptionist as they do the CEO. As I mentioned in previous post, I think the WLAX scholarship generally speaking ends up in the 18-22 range for well funded schools which covers the 14-16 girls that play and the other top few underclassmen they are developing. It is entirely possible that some of the bigger schools may drop a mens sport or 2 to help close the gap.Dadlax121 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 3:19 pm An admittedly naive question.
If a 2026 player is now committed to a very large state school, which seems to be all in on women’s lacrosse- will fund the maximum allowed and now is currently fully funded- does the current scholarship amount she committed to (35% for example) even matter? I think if the world goes the way some suggest, rosters will be smaller but all girls will be full scholarships. Or do I have this wrong?
i'm not sure most or how many football programs will want to increase scholarships to the full amount, a number of football coaches have been interviewed and 1st blush have had reservations about it. changes of course are coming, who knows what? most of it not surprisingly will be driven by money, and school specific.
Unfortunately Title IX is really not holding much weight right now, which is really crazy. Title IX came into play in the mid 90's and a few men's D1 lax programs were dropped such as Michigan State, UNH, Butler, BC along with BU and Northeastern football. Since that time there has not been much done with Title IX. One of the lawyers NCAA Settlement complaints was Title IX, but the latest revision did not do anything to change it.
