The Patriot League, which has the most-played rivalry in college football, will begin offering scholarships in the sport beginning with 2013’s incoming class, the conference’s Council of Presidents announced today.
The league, founded in 1986 on the principles of “admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class,” previously allowed need-based financial aid to athletes in all sports and merit-based scholarships for all sports except football.
