AFAIK, schools aren't on the hook for paying the student athlete, unless the school is the one using the likeness. If athletes want to market their self and image to outside parties that's the third party's responsibility to pay. And its only the largest of the money makers that have to abide by it. Like if the QB at UCLA wants to hypothetically run a camp and teach kids to throw the ball, he can now do that.
Its no different then a person on say a band or dance scholarship doing gigs outside of their rolls with the school and getting paid.

The entire MEAC and SWAC are under academic sanctions and are more broke than the majority of schools at any division. Not to mention, as a whole, those 2 conferences are basically dead last in every sport. They only good about them is their bands and their attendance sometimes. I'm sorry but in my opinion they should not be at the elite level of college athletics. The WAC keeps having to bring in a new school just about every year because no one wants to be in their conference, which spans over half the country, then eastern conferences such as the NEC and A-Sun should probably drop as well. There are nearly 360 D1 colleges, that number should be cut to 250-300 in my opinion.

A few years ago University of New Orleans went through about a 4 year period where they were going to drop to D3 then decided on D2 and ultimately ended up staying D1.

I think the last to do it was West Texas A&M (State, back then). They did it in the mid-80s, when the NCAA made the requirements for I-A (FBS) more stringent and they chose to drop all the way to D2 rather than go I-AA (FCS).
Savannah State is in the second year of a two-year transition period, but they're having compliance issues.
I'm still curious about the scholarship question. How many scholarships are they currently funding? 50, 40 or what?

The paycheck that the G-W BULLDOGS got for giving eventual NAT CHAMP VIRGINIA a decent game is all any of these schools care about. Whether any of that cash ever flows to other sports is questionable, but don't look for anything to change as long as they get 1 MM GAME.
Pikeville, North Carolina Central (now FCS but still D2 at the time), North Greenville and Chowan.
They've also only won more than 1 conference game on two occasions. In the Big South for crying out loud.

1) Other than WSSU & SSU have any other teams moved down ?
2) When do teams moving down have to be at 36 scholarships? Day 1 or other date?
Some of the MEAC schools were rumored to be moving to D2, such as Norfolk State and SC State. Both are likely not now with the Celebration Bowl and ability to schedule more Money/FBS and D2 games in lieu of trying to compete in the FCS playoffs.
