It came five months after the N.C.A.A. acknowledged that the antitrust division of the Justice Department was looking into the one-year scholarship rule.
In May, responding to reports that the Justice Department was investigating its scholarship rule, the N.C.A.A. released a statement explaining that "an annual review of whether an individual meets the standards of a merit award is the most appropriate way to ensure that the most deserving student-athletes receive that award each year".
Further, some of the choices are complicated by scholarship-eligibility rules that depend on future income.
Mrs. Peachum (Gasteyer), meditating on the contradiction between academics' high minds and their rapacious libidos, sings, "In all their scholarship they ruled cheap tricks out / And yet when night fell, they all had their dicks out".
But there could be only one scholarship per family, rules were rules.
In the more than 100 years since the NCAA was founded, it has not allowed athletes to have a seat at the table to discuss serious issues and therefore has done little to address full medical coverage for injuries sustained, limitations on practice time, scholarship shortfalls and rules to make promised education a reality.
Scholarships, Scholarship, Scholarships.
The one-year loss of four scholarships for recruiting rules violations was expected, but the N.C.A.A.'s lowering of every team's limit, to 25 from 30 in 1988, was not, and it cost him five more.
That year, athletic department officials discovered that they had incorrectly interpreted N.C.A.A. rules governing scholarship limits; as punishment, they agreed to remove 5.27 scholarships from the baseball team over a four-year period.
The law of supply and demand gained equal footing with the rules of scholarship and good taste.
