Quick question. NCAA website says NLI is contract between school and player for ONE year. Does that mean same amount of original scholarship amount money isn't guaranteed for the entire 4 years? How would you plan for school tuition if it isn't? In practice does it usually stay the same for all 4 years?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAthletic scholarships are only guaranteed for 4 years in the Power 5 conferences and a few other limited instances (mostly just top football and basketball players). In theory your deal is at risk each and every year. As long as your athlete is delivering on a coach's expectations it should be fine. But yeah anything can happen - coaches can even give more the next year if you're over delivering. If the athletic $ is the only way you can afford that school you might want to reconsider or have a backup plan. I know everyone loves the idea of an athletic scholarship, but if your kid is smart and can get a good merit scholarship instead? Take it and run. As long as you keep up your GPA merit is usually guaranteed all 4 years.

^ not true. Outside of the Power 5 coaches still have the ability to cut $ if they want. The rare 4 year deals outside the Power 5 are rarely for a non revenue sport like soccer. Like another poster said if the athlete performs it's pretty much an automatic renewal. But why should a coach have to keep paying for an under performer? And if you quit - even if ythe coach sucks - yes you lose your $

http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes...e/scholarships "If a school plans to reduce or not renew a student-athlete’s aid, the school must notify the student-athlete in writing by July 1 and provide an opportunity to appeal. In most cases, coaches decide who receives a scholarship, the scholarship amount and whether it will be renewed."

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCorrect if they quit but that’s fairly obvious. Now look up how many win on appeal. Please stop feeding this false narrative. Unless you do something stupid, they cannot reduce the money or take it away. You are doing people a disservice. I called the NCAA and their exact words were that scholarships cannot be reduced or removed based on athletic ability. Only discipline, academics or quitting are reasons. If a coach tries to remove it in any part for athletic reasons, you will win the appeal. Translation. Show up on time, do well in the classroom, stay out of trouble and make a good effort and you will keep your money. Playing time is a different story.

they cant really make your life more miserable than any other players- because then you can appeal on that-but you will get watched for the slightest screw up
