The larger issue at hand is a proposal by the Power 5 conferences (SEC, PAC-12, Big 10, ACC, and Big 12) to change the super-majority voting thresholds to enact legislation. The Power 5 are proposing that the NCAA lower the super-majority voting threshold from 75% to 60% of member schools, and from 4 of 5 member conferences, to 3 of 5.
The more direct issue, and the first one most likely to be addressed under the new voting schema, if passed, would be the Grant-in-Aid (GIA) limits being capped by the NCAA below full cost of attendance.
Here's a story on a cost-of-attendance lawsuit mentioned in the first article above. The lawsuit was settled, with claimants being able to receive up to $2,500 (the agreed upon average difference between a "full ride" scholarship and the GIA cap).. Here's a site administering the settlement, with links to the various court dcouments.
