Need some help from those familiar with the recruiting and aid process. Had a DII coach tell me that one challenge they are facing is that at their school, any academic or merit aid that the student athlete accepts has to count against the amount of athletic scholarships they are allowed to award. If I'm understanding this correctly, it seems this would severely hamper that coach's ability to put together competitive packages for athletes who are good students as well as good players. It would certainly be a competitive disadvantage if another school in that same league, with the same sticker price tag, that might be recruiting the same student athlete was able to "stack" athletic aid on top of academic and possibly need based aid as well (not sure how need based aid enters in to the equation in the situation at the original school I talked about above).
Has anyone had experience with this or can anyone explain what I might be missing here? Thanks in advance.
