See also athletes can go free for more than 8 semesters…(.whereas those on academic scholarship are limited to just 8). if on an academic scholarship why “waste” one of those 8 semesters on summer when you get more bang for your buck in fall or spring… 6 or 9 hours vs 18 or 21?

same goes for paying students, plus add in factor easier to pick up summer jobs and can usually make more money in summer jobs than fall/winter jobs

Full cost of attendance for football and basketball players makes it less of a need to get summer jobs these days. Also, both sports now prefer their players to be available for workouts during the summer.

Excellent point. Seems to further my point as well.

How does the ncaa monitor to ensure these so called “summer workouts” dont accidentally lead into/ become practice illegal sessions?

be interesting to see of the 311 (and of the 8) how many are in summer because they graduated early compared to how many because they are late
