Question for the board on scholarships.


I'm a bit confused on Robie's quote below. Is the 9.9 scholarships level set by the NCAA or is it set by VT? Why is it specifically 9.9? Also, could someone further expand on what he means when he says "we might have 80% of a scholarship and we can give as much as we want"? I am just trying to understand if the program is being held back by lack of scholarship money. TIA

Robie quote from article on TSL:
"I’m really excited about the class that we signed this November. We signed three kids, that’s a small class. We didn’t have a ton of scholarship money to give and that’s one thing that people don’t understand, too, is wrestling has 9.9 scholarships. If we have one senior graduating, we might have 80% of a scholarship and we can give as much as we want. We can give them a hundred dollars or we can pay for everything. So depending on how much scholarship money we have opening a year is going to really dictate how big the class is."
