I played NAIA D-1 basketball, and going into my freshman year, i was on a full ride. However, it was part athletic and part academic. I screwed around and had a D at the end of my second semester, which knocked me out of my academic money. Thank goodness coach picked up the rest with athletic money, or i could have been out in the cold...
for the next 3 years, i was on full athletic scholarship....
if a player wants to play, and HAS THE GRADES AND ACT SCORE....there will be money available.
