15. Athletics – Aid Overview
17 NCAA D-1 sports
About 400 student-athletes
Head-count sports (3)
Head-count = a team awards only full scholarships; these are capped at a certain number of people per NCAA
Example: Women’s Volleyball = 12 (12 student-athletes receiving full athletic financial aid)
UNI head-count sports = Volleyball (12), Men’s Basketball (13), Women‘s Basketball (15)
Equivalency sports (14)
Equivalency = a team awards either full or partial scholarships; there is a limit on the value of financial aid awards an institution may provide
Example: Men’s Wrestling = 9.9 (9.9 equivalency worth of scholarships to as many student-athletes as they choose, i.e. a full may be divided into partials)
UNI equivalency sports = all others
