Not accurate.

The NCAA treats all students the same in regards to eligibility to compete in NCAA sanctioned sports. Additionally, the NCAA does not involve itself in "regulating" non-athletic academic activities of any student including scholarship student-athletes.

A "student-athlete", i.e. a student on scholarship for athletics, is treated exactly the same as a student who is on academic or music scholarships.

The student-athlete who transfers has access to all the same activities as the non student-athlete; and the non-athlete student has access to all the same activities as the student-athlete.

In fact, a student-athlete has a distinct advantage over a non-athlete student in that the student-athlete can still receive an athletic scholarship even while she is NOT participating in the activity for which she is on scholarship.

A student on a music scholarship is required to participate in the schools music program.

You can only say they are treated differently if Student A is allowed access to participate in Activity B but Student B is not allowed access to participate in Activity B.

I'm really surprised how shoddy your thinking is on this, no offense intended. This is basic logic applying to parallels.
