In this episode of The One-Eyed Scout, we break down the game-changing NCAA scholarship updates set to take effect in the 2025–26 season. D1 men’s basketball is moving from a headcount model to an equivalency sport—meaning full rides are no longer guaranteed, and partial scholarships are now in play.

What does this mean for high school recruits?
 How do academics, highlight tapes, and live period performance matter even more now?
Why the days of "just get a full ride" are over—and what smart families should do instead.

Whether you're a player, parent, coach, or trainer, this episode explains how the new NCAA scholarship model impacts recruiting, roster spots, and how to stand out in a crowded field.
