    Student A, B, C sign with a college. The parents of said student A,B,C work for the college (these parents have worked for the college for years, NOT A NEW HIRE). The parents are given Reduced Cost Benefits from the college (1/2 price for any employees child). How is this accounted for in the form of scholarships for the university?

    I would guess they would still count towards the 85 and the Athletic Department would get a discount for reduced tuition. Or they would have to forgo the reduced tuition and the AD would have to pay the full cost as part of the scholarship.

    Either way, I'm guessing this happens enough to warrant a rule about it.

    New rules state that the parents can't take that job 2 years prior and 2 years after said student enrollment. So your scenario, in which the parents are long time employees, doesn't apply.

    I would also suspect that the athletic scholarship amount is decided by the school after the student is officially admitted. The school more than likely applies the reduced cost because a parent is employed, then adds in the athletic scholarship component to round out the cost of tuition, etc.
