FCS conference scholarship levels

[JayJ79]

Which FCS conferences have conference-imposed scholarship limits that are lower than the 63 that the NCAA imposes for the FCS level?

I know that the Pioneer Football league doesn't allow any athletic scholarships for football, and I believe that the Ivy League has some rule against athletic scholarships (or had, at some point). Not sure what the status is on some of the other leagues.

does anyone have info on this matter?

Ivy: 0
Pioneer: 0
Northeast: 40
Patriot: 60 by 2016 (all except Georgetown)
All others: 63

thanks. 60 seems kind of an odd limit. You'd think you'd either have something markedly, like the NEC, or just allow schools to do the NCAA max, instead of being 3 shy of it.

The NEC has a limit of 40 athletic scholarships. However, other equiv aid can be provide up the FCS limit.

This combo of aid is how Wagner has been a "bowl counter" and other NEC teams are also getting close to that mark.

Does Georgetown not offer any football scholarships?

Here we go..... and we like 60 because it's a nice, round numbah.

The MEAC allows 63, but no MEAC school offers 63.

Is there a website / database where we can find the number of scholarships or equivalencies for all FCS schools?

Not that I know of. I don't believe Delaware is offering a full 63 at this point: There were only 32 scholarship players suited up this spring, there were 22 recruits and Brock said they made up 1/3 of the scholarship players, since many incoming recruits don't receive full scholarships at this level it's quite possible that Delaware doesn't actually have the equivalent of 63 full scholarships on the roster.

Don't know of a site to see this information and don't think it is disclosed. From experience and observations I'm confident there are MANY schools that don't fund the full 63 limit.
