The statute requires schools to treat a pregnancy the same way they would treat athletes with a temporary disability -- by allowing for time off from the athletic program without worries about losing scholarships or spots on the team.

Exactly, if a player misses a season due to an injury they don't lose their scholarship.

Sometimes they do. It depends on the contract. The very best athletes get it written into their agreements that they will not be dropped do to an injury. Most athletic scholarships do not provide this.
