Does anyone know how many scholarships we allocate to each sport and where that # stands in relation to the NCAA max for that sport?

Men's and women's basketball is at full capacity (at least, I'm pretty sure it is for the ladies). Baseball has 5. Swimming, iirc, has 0.

My (a few years outdated) memory is that we're close to the max on Men's and Women's lax, and in the 50%-100% range for men's and women's soccer.

Beyond the NCAA max number of scholarships there is also the Big East requirements for the minimum number of sports and scholarships to stay a member of the BE. My understanding is that GU participates in the minimum number of sports to stay in the BE and that they are at this time 10 ships below the minimum required. I am sure they are on some double secret probation from the home office but I have no idea what that is  But I expect there is some timetable to move to minimum scholarships for the BE but that is a $600K nut - not easy in these economic times. GU Volleyball has 9 scholarships which is 3 below the NCAA max (and norm for most other BE programs). The BE minimum is 9. To my knowledge us and Villanova are the only ones operating at 9 but I could have missed someone. |

I'm pretty sure that GU is well over the minimum number of sports -- in fact, the only BIG EAST sport that Georgetown doesn't compete in is Football.
On the scholarships, though I think you're dead on.

Scholarships are a very murky subject--outside of basketball and track, every other sport is below the NCAA maximum and some are at or below Big East standards, plus there is gray area in the definition of a scholarship (a full grant vs. a partial award vs. a need-based offer). By contrast, Notre Dame is seeking to endow every position on every athletic team with full scholarships. Without going into numbers you can look at a team's record and get a fair idea of how they are funded. If football or field hockey were better funded, you wouldn't see those kind of records going forward. (Football has another issue in play if readers are familiar with what Fordham is up to.) georgetownfootball.blogspot.com/2009/06/ninth-ivy.html |

I believe soccer is now up to the BE minimums which up until a couple of years ago wasn't true.

Mens Crew, which is not NCAA, has usually 1 or 2 for the heavyweight team and the same for the lightwieght, but these are, i believe, through the rowing boosters and not the school.
The max for baseball is 11.7
To clarify, all awards for aid are through the University, not boosters. Gifts to GRA are administered by the Athletic Department.--Admin

A scholarship is really a cash amount, unless we are right up against the # of students allowed by the neighborhood, etc.
Travel, Food and the such are real costs, but the real cash cost of Scholarships and Room are a little different.

Perhaps the Acting AD would care to enlighten us all.

Isn't there something like an annual report published by the athletic department? If there is, I would like to see this subject, the tired facilities subject, and specific goals for each team to meet the following year, except for "compete" and "win championship."
If there isn't, then they should get on it.
