Under NCAA legislation, all aid (athletics and non-athletics) provided by ASU to prospective and current student-athletes in baseball, golf, beach volleyball, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, men's tennis, track and field/cross country, triathlon, water polo, and wrestling cannot exceed team limits (also known as equivalency limits). Many ASU academic honor awards (e.g., NAmU-President’s, NAmU-Dean’s) may be exempt from these limits so long as they meet the NCAA definition of nondiscretionary aid.
