Full Cost of Attendance

[wretched]

I see UND has announced they will be providing for the FCOA starting in 2016-17. I thought I heard UNI basketball both men and women will be recievingthe FCOA but not 100% sure. Assuming Title 9 is the law with regards to FCOA. IMO UNI football will be at a distinct disadvantage when recruiting against the likes of NDSU and UND and others who jump on this badwagon. I mean imagine losing some of Iowa's best in state talent because NDSU has the advantage of offering an extra $3400 per year. Over a 5 year scholarship that is 17k, whose turning that down? UNI needs to act now and get on this bandwagon or find some new recruiting ground b/c NDSU will be robbing the cream of the crop in Iowa and you know Klieman can't wait to do it, not to mention Minnesota and Wisconsin which both NDSU and UND pull a ton of recruits out of each state.

Maybe I am freaking out but...thoughts?

Could be University of Notre Dame, but them offering FCoA stipends was pretty much assumed when the P5 came up with the idea, and I don't see how that really affects UNI that much.

More likely, the original poster was referring to the University of North Dakota, which if they did start offering stipends for football, could affect UNI's recruiting some, but not as much as NDSU's offering the stipends.

The big buzz has been about NDSU becoming one of the first FCS programs to announce intentions to offer football stipends. That announcement has been followed by other schools announcing that they would be looking into offering stipends, but not all of them have specifically mentioned football.

UNI has already announced the implementation of FCoA stipends for mens basketball and womens volleyball, and I guess womens basketball will award only 14 scholarships (of the 15 allowed in D-I WBB) and utilize that funding to offer stipends as well.

I am guessing UND is going to cut some sports, I have heard a few rumors about swimming and diving getting cut. Baseball could be another sport they could easily get rid of.

Their major problem is really women's hockey but Title IX would make it tough to get rid of. The money they spend on that sport would shock you.

Does UNI have a sport they can cut and still be D1?

Men's golf doesn't give scholarships and they share a coach with the women so a cut their would be symbolic more than anything.

I believe you need to sponsor 14 sports to be DI, UNI is at 17.

according to the source I read, both track (indoor and outdoor) and cross country share the same pool of scholarships (12.6 max for men, 18 max for women). Don't know how UNI distributes those scholarships (of course, most cross country runners are also on the track team)

minimum is 7M/7F or 6M/8F. (cross country, indoor track/field, and outdoor track/field are considered three seperate sports in this regard).

mens & womens basketball, womens softball, and womens volleyball are required for MVC membership

IMO we should cut anything we can and re-allocate those resources to sports that have some potential to create revenue. Of course I've thought this for years.

They might be but with 21 sports and a new stadium under construction they have a lot on their plate when it comes to putting the money together for this.

It wouldn't shock me if USD is next.
