as someone pointed out, not covering the "full cost of attendance" is not the same as "not covering cost of attendance"

I'm sure opposing recruiters will explain the difference.

nobody in the sun belt is covering the "full cost". that was the discussion with Southern offering $8k a year.

the full cost a school can provide is $8k. however, nobody is doing that.

No, the full cost is whatever the fed formula says is the full cost. It isn't $8K at every school. It's just that way at Georgia Southern.
UL's FCOA is less than $8K and we will be providing it.

Correct. According to our AD schools have done fuzzy math to make them more attractive to students. Now that the rules have changed it may have not been the best strategy.

Exactly.

ah. I guess I had misunderstood. I thought that there was a hard cap, and then different schools offer different amounts under that. my bad.

Nope...it's set by your financial aid people. Athletics has no control over it.

For instance, My understanding is Auburn is paying more than Bama.

Legally anyway.
