Quote:College athletics departments will receive amounts ranging from about $165,000 to more than $1.3 million from a one-time supplemental distribution of $200 million the NCAA is making to Division I schools in mid-April, according to a school-by-school distribution report compiled recently by the association.

Under a plan approved a year ago by the NCAA Board of Governors and the Division I Board of Directors, the amounts are based on the number of athletic scholarships the schools provided during the 2013-14 school year. Schools received credit for one scholarship for every set of partial awards that added up to the equivalent of a full scholarship.

This means schools with the largest athletics programs will be getting the greatest shares of this money, which will be restricted to uses that directly benefit athlete academic and welfare initiatives, according to a Q&A document posted on the NCAA's web site. Ohio State will receive the most, just more than $1.3 million because it awarded the equivalent of nearly 404 scholarships.

Wow. Almost $680k for Sac State.

NMSU will be using its money over a three year period beginning in 2018. It will be used for summer school, sport medicine and nutrition.

Need to keep in mind that it was based on the total number of scholarships each school awards. That means schools with football receive substantially more than schools without.

and GCU gets $0.00

Yup. Exact same amount Abilene Christian, Incarnate Word, & UMass-Lowell (other currently transitioning schools) are getting. I think a condition of moving to D1 is proving your athletic department is financially self-sustaining before you get any NCAA money. Schools must prove for 4 years they can stand on their own before being cut into the "non-profit" racket that is the NCAA.

OT, but related: With Final Four coming to Phoenix, the funniest thing I've seen is NCAA aggressively recruiting volunteers for an event (March Madness) they make nearly a billion dollars from. So, not paying the athletes that people are coming/paying to see compete isn't enough, but now you want your ticket takers and parking lot attendants to work for free, too? Can't parade out the whole "value of their education" arguement on that one, can you, NCAA?
