Division 1 colleges provide money for tutition, accommodation, food and books. Kids need to find their own way there (except free for visit to sign) and back home (airfare)and Health insurance (all sports related covered). Sundries (extras for clothes, movies etc) are not paid but they may be offered minimal pay on campus for basketball camps during the summer other jobs around the campusin the off-season. Yjese are full scholarships. There are also a small number of walk-on athletes (no scholarship).
Division 2 limited number of full scholarships and some partial scholarships.
Division 3 scholarships only for academic - no atheletic scholarships offered.
All Division 1 courses are recgnised to different degrees depending on the course. Generally Division 1 equivalent to major universities here, Division 2 equivalent to lower universities here and Division 3 equivalent to TAFE courses. All offr equivalent courses but some course subjects/degrees not recognised.

Maybe a stupid question, but 'if' a SA player is successful in gaining a USA scholarship, what does it include, and what does it cost the family?
Does it depend on the level of the scholarship?
Does the scholarship cover tutoring, accomodatiom, meals etc?
We hear of so many players going to the States, but is it really worthwhile for those going to some of the 'lower' colleges?

As long as the AFL has bought out the media of this country, bb will struggle for attention.
We used to be able to poach good juniors because of their dreams of going to the NBA or playing for their country. So what's changed? Are we still getting lots of good juniors playing bb but just not at home?

When we first heard about it , on the radio commentary of a 36ers game , a few months ago ,
they said that Maher was helping out with this in Adelaide.
