I had NO IDEA they got any kind of money being on a full athletic ride.
The NCAA relaxed their rules before NIL to allow schools to provide “full cost of attendance” because kids on full scholarship had no additional money to pay for housing during holiday breaks (if dorms were closed) or to travel home, let alone reasonable spending money for when school cafeterias were closed. KU probably had less problems than schools without secial athlete housing. Still, $397 for a school year ain’t much.
As I recall, it was an attempt to forestall the clamor to allow kids to earn whatever they could. Obviously, too little flexibility by NCAA, and too late.
I am sure our three-headed board of experts in this stuff can give a more accurate rendition!
ya I agree with you, I thought 392 dollars -Wow that isn’t anything to live on. Sure they are on a full ride athletic wise but otherwise it was peanuts. I mean sure we are talking like they said what - -1990’s things have come a long ways but man - -just really surprised me. -I really enjoyed listening to Drew and his life time experiences and how ell he still connected as they put it - -the brotherhood of KU
