It doesn’t cost the school a dime to put another student in the classroom.

Because of that, the athletic department never cuts a check to academics.

It's all paper cup accounting

Does the scholarship include books? If so, there would be a cost there.

Another scam where they have to get new books every year.

Scholarship limits are an NCAA restriction not a school restriction.

Texas St 3B Aaron Lugo, who led their team in every offensive category this season (avg, runs, doubles, HRs, RBIs, OPS, SBs) is transferring to U of Houston

Seems like a lateral move

Three things:

1. You are not putting another student in the classroom. Increasing scholarships does not mean increasing rosters. Those athletes are already students.

2. You are correct in saying it doesn't cost the university anything, and it is all accounting, but it does need to happen for NCAA and Title IX purposes.

3. What I don't know, and have never been able to get good answers on, is, outside of scholarships, what are the additional cost of scholarship versus non-scholarship athletes. I would think room & board, but wonder if insurance, food, etc come into play.

I think perhaps today it looks that way, but Houston is still in the new look Big 12. A better conference when it comes to media markets.
