No you didn't. I hate to break it to you but the best guys in the NCAA are not on full rides. That is pretty much the point of this thread. If you did get a full ride, it means that you are dumber than a doorknob because pretty much everyone gets some type of academic discount and it also means that your parents were wealthy if you got no need based discounts. But it especially means that you ran sub 4 for the mile in high school and were 2nd at Footlocker and NXN.
Fully funded as in the full 18.5 scholarships? Thats going to be like 25 schools. I know of at least 8 P5 who have no money at all.
Also whoever wrote in about UConn.... not P5.
If your son is pretty good and you want the most money, look to the Ivys.
12.6 is the max. Every P5 is fully funded. The Ivies are 100% need based. They have no academic or athletic scholarships. A fast kid from a wealthy family would be foolish to spend the money there as opposed to Stanford or ND or Michigan.
Want to call my coach? Parents? Teammates? Your arrogance is showing that you have no idea how the sport works. I scored under 1200 on my SAT and my parents are immigrants. I was the top kid from my state at Foot Locker.

And it paid off for my college coach. I ended up being a 2 x conference champion, scoring over 60+ points at conference in track over 4 years and being NCAA D1 All-Region XC twice. Recruiting is about potential. It's great if you can get the best, but not everyone can get the absolute best. Want to know how my P5 recruiting trips went (I took 2, ACC and SEC).. the ACC coach put up all five of our scholarship offers up on a white board and said with this class we could make NCAA XC Nationals. He was probably right, but I could not afford room & board, so I took the full ride to P5. Rest is history.
p 5 is football. for oly sports we have the Legendary Oly 4 schools who win gobs of medals each Oly Games. then way down the count are the Cow Town Schools aka Interstate Truck Stop Universities.
Arkansas or Ole Miss? Which years?
Might as well provide a name if you are going to make those types of claims. Not hard to do a few minutes of research. And 60 points over 4 years is expected for a full ride.
60 points over 4 years is not worth a full ride. Not on a winning team at lead.
15 points a year. 7.5 per season (indoor/outdoor)
Not terrible but not a winning formula that for sure.
Good point. It really should be at least 80 to earn the scholarship so this poster did not help the team win in terms of getting them to the magic 126 points.
Hey now!!!
Let's everyone chill a bit here

UConn cancelled men's xc though they kept women's rowing which is just a pretend sport to satisfy title ix.
Oh buddy. I hate to tell you about “track and field”

not every P5 is fully funded. Not even close. you are very very wrong.
Also yes if you're family makes over $300k per year, you will likely get very little from the Ivies. Anything under $150k per family and you are likely getting a full ride to an Ivy and be paying $25k per year at the 3 schools you listed above.
Nope. I just plugged info into Harvard calculator. $150k income with $250k assets and $5k student assets is $25k cost. $200k income with $500k assets and you pay $70k per year!
Every P5 is fully funded. List 3 that are not. I will follow up with some kids on the teams in order to prove you wrong.
You got played...luckily for athletes the transfer portal will not allow something so egregious to happen, as there is more of a free market now.
Even on a highly successful men's team at the P5 level, if you were scoring 6-7 points at every conference meet you should have been getting paid decent money. Athletic aid should have been somewhere in the range of tuition by the time you left, maybe more. Six points is a quality athlete at P5 conference level, worth 50%, even on the rare P5 teams that register triple digit scores at conference.
People on here who are not coaches have no idea what they are talking about. P5 schools are fully funded. Many G5 schools are fully funded. In the other 20 Division I conferences aid can really differ between 12.6 and next to nothing, but that is not the case at P5 schools that sponsor men's outdoor track.

You are not correct, not every p5 is fully funded for men and women… most will be on the women’s side. Also the athletes likely have no idea about the scholarship funding.
Not every P5 school is fully funded. There are several that are not, especially with the men. For example, in the ACC, BC has zero men's XC/T&F money. I don't think that Miami has much. Also, fully funded is different for the women and the men (18 vs. 12.6).
BC is nonfunded, not underfunded. There are a few programs out there like that. The point was that there are no underfunded P5 programs. Miami is fully funded.
