[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would all the names listed be getting scholarships? Full rides? Or is the bonus that they get admission to college? If get scholarship to a college and get injured, can student stay once enrolled? What if they are just dropped from team but not bc of injury?[/quote]
Up until the recent NCAA settlement related to revenue sharing led to changes, women’s volleyball was limited to a maximum of 12 full scholarships that could not be split between players, meaning the maximum number of volleyball players with athletic scholarships in a given season was 12. Not every program was fully funded (generally smaller, less competitive programs) meaning they may have had less than 12 scholarships athletes or some getting less than a full ride. Not all players got 4 years of scholarship as well. Under the old rules, there was no limit on the number of players on a roster so there were always a number of non-scholarship athletes, even on top teams.

Under the new rules, the number of volleyball scholarships has increased to 18 but there is now an 18 player roster limit. It’s now somewhat unclear how that plays out for different conferences/schools. I think all the Power 4 conferences (Big 10, ACC, SEC, and Big 12) are required to abide by the new rules and will all be offering 18 scholarships and limiting rosters to 18 players. For other D1 programs, they can choose to opt in or not and there hasn’t been a lot of information shared about how the new rules will be adopted. Given that there are many conferences/schools that don’t have big revenue football/basketball programs, it’s not clear whether these schools will be willing to invest more in women’s volleyball scholarships. Think conferences like the Atlantic 10, Big South, CAA, Patriot League, etc. Another change is that women’s volleyball scholarships can now be split, meaning that even if a program sticks to 12 scholarships, they may choose to give partial scholarships to more players.

Lots of unknowns, but in terms of the original question, every player going to a Power 4 program from this point forward is likely on a full scholarship. Other conferences it’s hard to say, but I think it’s safe to assume that not every player at a mid-major D1 program is on an athletic scholarship. [/quote]
