Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4656921, member: 5798"] I know it won't happen, but I'd like to see [B]ALL[/B] D1 athletic teams/coaches be allowed to offer [B]a full-ride scholarship[/B] for every roster spot each sport has. i.e., if women's softball has a 15-player limit, schools/coaches should be able to offer 15 full-ride scholarships to fill their roster if they wish. Those student-athletes need financial assistance also. They are no different than football or basketball players. They spend as much time practicing or in meetings as most other sports. Until I saw it for myself, I had no idea that band members (all on scholarship) spent as much time as they do practicing. The band members at my school practiced what seemed like 7 days a week, year-round. :eek: They were never bored. They were either studying sleeping or practicing. [/QUOTE]
