Charlotte athletics director Judy Rose said the 49ers will take an incremental step of $1,000 per full scholarship for the 2015-16 season, then move up to an average of about $2,300 for full cost of attendance beginning in 2016-17.
At Charlotte and other schools, there are two kinds of scholarship categories: head count and equivalency. “Head count” sports, such as football and men’s and women’s basketball, provide one full scholarship per player. Equivalency sports, such as men’s and women’s soccer and baseball, have a certain number of scholarships to divide partially among their players.
“So our number is a moving target because every sport will probably be calculated differently,” Rose said.
Rose said cost of attendance will add about $500,000 to the athletics department budget eventually, with much of that money coming from funds it receives from Conference USA.
â–Ş Due largely to a recent hazing incident on the baseball team, Rose said the 49ers are working with the Cary-based Janssen Sports Leadership Center to help Charlotte athletes with their leadership skills.
“We are looking at all our teams, at team chemistry, at team captains, across the board,” said Rose. “Our coaches said we don’t have strong leadership. When the student-athletes come to us, they don’t know how to be strong leaders. So we need to know how to develop them.”
Rose said the school’s investigation into the hazing incident is still ongoing. Five players were dismissed from the team in December.
Rose said it’s unlikely swimming will be one of the women’s sports added to the 49ers’ athletics department as it gradually satisfies football-induced federal Title IX requirements.
Building a new pool would cost about $1.5 million, Rose said.
“That would be tough to do,” she said.
A women’s golf team will begin play in 2016-17. Sand volleyball will likely be the second new sport added.
Rose said there is no hard deadline for the new sports to be added, but the school must show that it is working toward that goal over a 10-year period.
Blaming other student athletes for not being leaders is a pretty pathetic excuse, which is what I assume she was getting at with the weak leadership comment. The person in charge, aka the Athletic Department, is to blame, not an 18-20 year old student athlete.
Pathetic and shows a true lack of leadership by a joke of an Athletic Director.

That is the worst thing Rose said in this interview (that was printed anyway). We have an AD who is too scared to try raising $1.5M because it would “be tough”. ???
The part I found interesting was the way scholarships were set up. Before, my understanding was that every student-athlete would be getting a check for $1000. Now, it looks like just football, MBB, and WBB student-athletes will be getting $1000 each, and the other sports’ athletes just get a share of X scholarships they have available.

Not to excuse anyone, but I would argue that strong student athlete leadership is a large contributor to a team’s success on and off the field.
I think her leadership comment was pointed at the members of the baseball team that should have enough sense, and courage, to stop this kind of behavior. The coaches, and certainly the Athletic Director, cannot always be there when idiots do what idiots do. But I think you already knew this.

My personal opinion is that if our athletes lack in leadership qualities, it is up to our coaches to instill those qualities. One of our past successful coaches did this by making sure the upper classes were active in teaching the lower classes and by reminding the seniors constantly of their roles as mentors to the younger ones. Seemed to have worked in that case.

She doesn’t give good quotes to the media. Doubt that’s going to change. Hopefully our next AD will be better at it. It is what it is.

Eh, I’d just rather think that’s it’s too late to start.

So I wonder how much this has factored into our transfer and recruiting woes.
Anyone know what Illinois, NC State, Wake, Miami and GA State are paying???

Think of it in bizarro world where we would pay FCA and NC State would not. State would still get better players just from reputation.
Example: Player X gets offers of full rides from “mid majors”, yet choses to walk on for UNC_CHeat.
