Quote:Among the things promised in the reforms are guaranteed multi-year scholarships, iPads for all student-athletes, an increased commitment to heathcare and financial support to athletes who decide to return to the university to finish their academic careers later in life.

The lifetime promise to support a student-athete's education will be called the "Hoosier for Life" program and will pay tuition, books and fees for IU students in good standing.

"It will be open to to any former student-athlete who was eligible for at least two seasons, left IU in good standing, did not transfer and is readmitted under university rules," Glass said.

Good. It's a start.

I wonder why schools have not been doing this for years?

No, but at least you can freely transfer wherever you want if you have one of those. I doubt the jocks get that in this scheme.

Arkansas State requires all freshmen to have an iPad and provides assistance programs for them. Because it is required like a book I think student-athletes receive them if they are on a full ride but have to pay fair market to keep them otherwise they have to be turned back.
