star2city Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 http://eye-on-collegefootball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/24156338/32698997 FCS scholarships may drop from 63 to 60, FBS from 85 to 80, women's basketball from 15 to 13, and men's basketball from 13 to 12. The changes could really free up talent in the women's basketball ranks. The full cost-of-attendance scholarships would make the total cost even higher. USA Today estimates the increased cost of the new type scholarships to be $716,000 annually for UND. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/2011-07-29-athletic-departments-cost-of-attendance_n.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMeister Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 women's basketball from 15 to 13, and men's basketball from 13 to 12. Is there some stated logic on why the basketball scholarships aren't the same for men/women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding full cost of attendance scholarships would make FCS football as a model completely unsustainable. UND needs to "pass through" FCS and move to FBS as soon as feasible.

UND Fan Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 How in the heck does SDSU offer 193 scholarships (UND has 183) - they must a lot more kids on equestrian scholarships than we have in men's and women's hockey!!! They also have wrestling and men's tennis but I wouldn't think that the overall total would be higher than ours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
