Athletic vs. Academic Scholarship

Hi, I was recruited by Northeastern to run for their track team and I thought that automatically implied an athletic scholarship. In my financial aid package, they gave me about 43,000 in academic aid but I got noting for an athletic scholarship. I’m just wondering, is that because I received so much in academic aid? It leaves about 14,000 U.S. for to pay, 12,000 if I do work study. I’m wondering maybe this is blessing in disguise but does this mean I’m not bound to the team. Like could I quit without it hurting my academic scholarship? What kind of experience have you had with this kind of thing? Any help would be appreciated.
