I'll tell you something else that further confuses the issue is that "other monies" are often used as a substitute for an athletic scholarship.

Here is what I mean. Two schools discovered my daughter late. They had already used their 2013 scholarship money. Both schools came back a few days later with a full ride offer. This money would have had nothing to do with sport scholarship monies but it would allow the school an extra quality player. This clearly was not that out of the ordinary even if not common.

I'd say if you want to play a sport in college be smart as to where the money is and what you are athletically compatible with. Then be dedicated and you will get one.

If you are 5'6'' and want to play WR at Florida don't bitch about title IX.
