sports, needs to be converted to a full-time equivalency value. The full-time equivalency value is calculated using the athletic grant amount reported on the Calculation of Revenue Distribution Equivalencies Report (CRDE) from CA as the numerator and the full grant amount which is the total cost for tuition, fees, required course-related books, room and board for an academic year as the denominator. If using the NCAA CA software, this equivalency value will be calculated for you on the CRDE report labeled "Revenue Distribution Equivalent Award".

• Grants-in-aid is calculated by using the revenue distribution equivalencies by sport and in aggregate. (Athletic grant amount divided by the full grant amount).
• Other expenses related to attendance (also known as cost of attendance) should not be included in grants-in-aid revenue distribution equivalencies. Only tuition, fees, room, board, and course-related books are countable for grants-in-aid revenue distribution per Bylaw 20.02.10). Note: for compliance purposes equivalencies may include other expenses related to attendance per Bylaw 15.02.2, however these expenses are not allowed to be included for revenue distribution equivalencies.
• Full grant amount should be entered as a full year of tuition, not a semester or quarter.
• Student-athletes are to be counted once, regardless of multiple sport participation, and should not receive a revenue distribution equivalency greater than 1.00.
• Athletics grants are valid for revenue distribution purposes only in sports in which the NCAA conducts championships competition, emerging sports for women and football bowl subdivision football.
• Grants-in-aid are valid for revenue distribution purposes in NCAA sports that do not meet the minimum contests and participants' requirements of Bylaw 20.10.6.3.
• Institutions providing grants to student-athletes listed on the CRDE as “Exhausted Eligibility (fifth-year)” or “Medical” receive credit in the grants-in-aid component.
• The athletics aid equivalency cannot exceed maximum equivalency limits. However, the total revenue distribution equivalency can exceed maximum equivalency limits due to exhausted eligibility and medical equivalencies (reference Bylaw 15.5.3.1).
• If a sport is discontinued and the athletic grant(s) are still being honored by the institution, the grant(s) are included in student-athlete aid for revenue distribution purposes.
