Actually, this is one of the best explanations about how Purdue is handling the new era of college sports. I would be interested in how many new scholarships (if any) Purdue will fund. Also, how the university will back fill the $20.5 M commitment? I don't believe that there is "gentlemen's agreement" for athletics to raise the $$ and we will pick up the slack at the end of the fiscal year. That would be irresponsible for both athletics and the University Administration. Thanks.
No additional scholarships in the first year, but maybe in the future. As of now, scholarships are counted against the cap ($20.5 million). There's talk of trying to change that. Purdue would like to add scholarships.
The plan is for the university to cover any financial shortage from the athletic department in the upcoming fiscal year. Curious what the number will be next June.
Thanks for the update. Many schools are adding 50-100 scholarships for their Olympic sports. Each university will also have to navigate loss of revenue from research and possibly international students to back fill rising expenses for athletics.
