Like with most things......

the devil will be in the actual details AND the creativeness of the institutions in applying those rules. Scholarship limits and equivalent roster limits were originally interpreted to be the end of walkons but, all that may hinge on the other specifics and how they might be applied. Can scholarships still be split? That might allow less well funded schools to still match the roster sizes of their more well funded peers and you have the same problem as now with kids picking the best money offer. It will be interesting to see how schools might find work around to any new rules. We know they almost always do find them and proceed to drive a truck through the hole.

House Settlement Made Public - Softball will go to 25 scholarships in 2025
VTChip • 07/26/24 06:09 PM ET
The reality is that there will be far more D1 softball scholarships . . .
MidloHokie • 08/01/24 03:47 AM ET
This settlement is pretty damn unsettling.**

Some athletes will get more, while others will get the short end
UpperQuad • 07/28/24 12:32 PM ET
Do athletic departments disclose revenue and expenses per sport?
jesuisvtguy • 07/27/24 06:22 PM ET
It wouldn’t be a pretty picture
Hokie4Life_89 • 07/29/24 05:07 PM ET
VT only discloses those details for football and the two basketball teams
UpperQuad • 07/28/24 10:52 AM ET
You could probably obtain those amounts through a FOIA request.**

Few Schools will be “fully funded”
Hokie4Life_89 • 07/26/24 08:32 PM ET
Maybe others can help confirm if my understanding is correct.
WhoDatVT • 07/28/24 07:27 AM ET
The math is simple, if you add 1 men's schol, you must add a women's too
Vienna_Hokie • 07/29/24 12:26 PM ET
Almost, but not quite, I think
Hokie4Life_89 • 07/30/24 06:51 PM ET
I agree with you about the potential negative impact on walk-ons

I would hope softball will be treated well.
Atlee Hokie • 07/27/24 11:28 AM ET
Historically softball has been used to balance out the Title IX

I believe you are correct, sir**

Lonni at FSU will get her full scholarship money or else...bank on it. **
Techdady • 07/27/24 10:34 AM ET
No doubt, just like most other Top 25 programs
VTChip • 07/27/24 11:24 AM ET
VT may need more softball scholarships if it increases baseball & wrestling**
UpperQuad • 07/27/24 08:12 AM ET
What is tumbling and stunt???
Hockeydad • 07/26/24 07:23 PM ET
Tumble is what you do when your stunt goes wrong. "Hey y'all watch this"
