The "full cost of attendance scholarships" that are being looked at to replace the "full ride" ones aren't enough, either. And of course, it is really just the men's football and basketball teams that need to start paying their players, because "they bring in the lion's share of the schools sports related revenue".

Keep in mind that not all scholarships are fully pay for a student's tuition. Some are only partials, others just allow you to play on the team and pay for school yourself.
