Recently, the NCAA has enacted new standards requiring academic reform for student-athletes. The guidelines are the same even for smaller, less profitable programs and schools. But with less money, small schools, including most historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), have fewer resources to allocate to the NCAA's academic reform goals. Recent sanctions and scholarship losses at some HBCUs have led to questions about the disproportionate impact of academic reform on current and future student-athletes at those schools. But while some schools fall back on limited funding to explain their lack of compliance, officials say that the real requirement for meeting standards is that a school have and keep its students' best interests in mind.
