[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has not done an official visit yet (that is where the formal financials will be offered) but in discussions with coaches so far the range is between 60%-100% of OOS tuition and room/board. There are caveats with that- improve anything over last year, commit early, grades/test scores, etc...[/quote]

Are they committing to a four-year roster spot and scholarship?  OP, the landscape is changing very quickly, rosters are shrinking, schools are increasingly picking up transfers, and kids are being cut from teams.  Unless your kid is an absolute superstar, I would be very wary of promises of big money from D1 teams.  [/quote]

THIS. And many D1s we found don't give a lot of money up front. So, the longer you stay, the more money is given. The bet is that they won't all stay. I'm sure the super stars have better deals. But all of the D1 athletes -including the offer my kid received- was little/ no money the first year.[/quote]

I thought the upside to all the roster changes was that Power 4 schools were providing 100% scholarships to all athletes.

At least that was what UT said when they decided to give 100% scholarships to all men and women crew recruits.[/quote]

We have experienced all programs giving money upfront. They might be 80% for now but can go to 100%. Plus it seems to be negotiable.[/quote]
