Coaches must notify returning student athletes by July 1st whether their athletic scholarship will be renewed at the same level, increased, or decreased for the upcoming academic year.
Myths - student athletes will not lose a scholarship due to injury or poor performance on the field.
Student athletes may lose a scholarship for the following three reasons:
1. Team Disruption (AKA "Workplace" Insubordination). Sipping Slurpies at the 50 yard line while the team is running stadium steps is a bad life plan.
2. Breaking team, school, or NCAA rules.
3. Failure to maintain a full-time class load (at least 12 credits); or failure to maintain the minimum required GPA.
