Baruch College gave players more than $250,000 in impermissible aid

Baruch College, a Division III institution in the City University of New York system, awarded more than $250,000 in impermissible financial aid to athletes over the course of five years, the National Collegiate Athletic Association announced Thursday.

Much of the aid was awarded based on athletic ability — a violation of what is frequently referred to as Division III’s “bedrock principle.”

While Division III colleges are allowed to weigh athletic considerations in deciding whom they admit, the rules adopted by the division’s members bar them from doing so when packaging financial aid. According to the NCAA, 13 Baruch athletes received financial aid based on athletic criteria between 2010 and 2015, and another 11 players received one-time cash awards of $500 for participating in athletics.
