    Interesting twist for the players:

    "The University is offering full tuition scholarships to every football student-athlete who chooses to stay at Jacksonville University until graduation."

    "The University has participated in the non-scholarship Pioneer Football League since 1998."

    Nice of them not to screw the players in terms of academics.

    I don't its odd that they are getting continued scholarships. UND did it for its discontinued programs a few years back, and I would bet the UNO did it when they discontinued
    their football program also.

    Yeah, and UND and UNO offered athletic scholarships, Jacksonville doesn’t offer football scholarships.

    All non scholarship schools offer financial assistance. So now it probably needed to be called a scholarship just because.
