UConn Will Offer Enhanced Athletic Scholarships In Fall
The new Division I governing model allows schools in conferences, such as UConn in the American Athletic
Conference, to opt into changes adopted by the Power 5, but does not require them to do so, but Uconn will.
"The NCAA is very clear on what schools are allowed to provide to student-athletes and what they can't provide," said UConn
athletic director Warde Manuel. "UConn, like most of our counterparts, has tried historically to give our student-athletes
everything that is permissible for them to achieve success academically and athletically. The NCAA now recognizes that
a full-cost-of-attendance scholarship will allow student-athletes the total experience of being a college student. We support
this change and are currently studying different strategies to implement exactly how we will provide stipends."
