Why does Women’s rowing get 20 scholarships?
Why does Equestrian get 15?
Women’s Ice hockey gets 18?
Rugby has 12?
Why does women’s soccer only get 14?
On the same note, why does softball only get 12?
Who decided that rowing got 20?
Who decided that women’s basketball, volleyball, tennis and gymnastics all get to be headcount sports? Basketball had only 5 on the court at a time, yet has 15 full headcount scholarships. Imagine if soccer had 11x3 = 33 full headcount scholarships!
Women’s soccer is loads more popular than rowing, equestrian or ice hockey and yet the other 3 all have more scholarships. Rowing and equestrian are particularly puzzling because they are sports of the ultra wealthy with lower numbers of participants and participants that don’t need sports scholarships. Makes zero sense that they get 20 and 15 scholarships, respectively!
Is there a review process to change those max scholarships allowed numbers based on rational and fair thinking and to adjust for the times? All the whining on TS would be best spent channeled into increasing the numbers of max scholarships allowed for soccer - particularly on the women’s side where there are more to work with due to no football. Also, how can women’s soccer become a headcount sport? If nothing else, maybe take rowing down to 15 and equestrian down to 10 and bam, soccer could have 24. Or give soccer 5 of those and softball 5.
In any case, shouldn’t the NCAA scholarships per different sports be updated or changed?
