Can't blame UConn for trying. However, the divide is still there. UConn will only give extra money for athletes on a full scholarship. Contrast this with, eg, the Big Ten's Minnesota. All scholarship athletes in its 23 sports will be included.

Full-cost-of-attendance scholarships were approved in one of the first votes by the major conferences. The new Division I governing model allows schools in smaller conferences, such as UConn in the American Athletic Conference, to opt into changes adopted by the Power Five, but does not require them to do so...

"When Division I decided to grant autonomy to the Power Five conferences, it really changed the power structure, so now the Power Five conferences are really in the driver's seat," said University of Hartford President Walter Harrison, the former chairman of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance.

"We plan to include every sport," deputy director of athletics Beth Goetz said Thursday...
.If approved, Goetz said she expects the rules to be in place for the 2015-16 school year and apply to all 23 sports offered by Minnesota's athletics department."
