Excellent news, hopefully the other conferences follow suit.

Quote:
The Big Ten became the first major college conference to guarantee scholarships across all sports through the duration of an athlete’s enrollment at a university.

In a statement released Wednesday, the Big Ten said scholarships won’t be reduced or cancelled as long as an athlete "remains a member in good standing with the community, the university and the athletics department." The Big Ten did not specify what conditions its athletic departments can set for players to remain in good standing.

The Big Ten also said it would guarantee an athlete may return to school at any time on an athletic scholarship if the athlete’s pursuit for an undergraduate degree is "interrupted for a bona fide reason."

Indiana and Maryland were smart to go ahead and announce this in advance and garner the attention for themselves.

They certainly knew this was coming conference wide. it's not been a secret.
