One other useful piece of information is understanding how a recruiting budget is determined. At the Division III level, you will receive $3,000 for each open scholarship, $5,000 in Division II, and $15,000 in Division I. Each team has 12 scholarships for the roster. Supplementing this is carryover money (25% of unused money from last season, assuming all scholarships were filled) along with postseason money earned by your conference. This is determined by the following:
For the National Tournament:
- In Division III, conferences will earn $3,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division II, conferences will earn $5,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division I, conferences will earn $20,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
For the PostSeason Invitational:
- In Division III, conferences will earn $1,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division II, conferences will earn $1,500 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division I, conferences will earn $5,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
This is money for the entire conference. Therefore, the total given to each team will be the total earned the previous season divided by 12.
