Scholarships are few for many Men's sports even at the P4 level, many don't

get much if any money. For many Men if they have great grades, they can get more money from a D3, but sometimes ego gets in the way. Many parents think of scholarships like they are for football and basketball, with many Men's sports they don't get much money. My question is, if you aren't on Athletic Scholarship, will they need to pay them too? If so, I see a lot of sports being cut, and that would be terrible IMHO.

I understand your sentiment, but 🏈 makes 80% of the money, and 🏀 20%.

Does the athletic department literally pay the school the standard rate?
