    I realize that schools offer a low number of "scholarships" for baseball. I hope someday that will change.
    Where can I find the number of scholarships offered by sport for Div 1 schools? That is: football, baseball, etc.
    Thanks,

    Does anyone know the average Baseball scholarships for DI or DII before Title IX? Was it any different?

    At some point, the Division I limit was 13. What I'm not certain of is whether there was a higher number at some point before the enactment of Title IX.

    The reason I know that it was 13 is that baseball and a number of other non-revenue sports were forced to reduce the number by 10% (13 - 1.3 = 11.7 - today's limit).

    The reduction was a direct response to the increased cost of Title IX. It's the precise timing of the reduction that I'm unsure of.

    I would love to know when some post on here...."player" commits to play at school...what kind of deal they got...i.e. partial scholatship, walk on, full ride, etc. Someone asked me the other day about full scholarships in baseball and I told them I seriously doubted if there were mant full rides but that I did not honestly know. Anyone have any idea what kind of deal most players are getting? 13, 1/2 many full rides being offered??

    In Division I, anything above the NCAA-mandated level of 25% is "good," since coaches have to spread the equivalent of 11.7 scholarships among 27 of the 35 players on the roster.

    "Full rides" are virtually non-existent. Even before the 25% mandated level was fully implemented in 2009, they were very scarce. The "25% Rule" has the effect of making them even scarcer.

    The only 2 Division I sports that provide full athletic scholarships to men are football (85) and basketball (12).

    (Keep in mind that not all Division I athletic departments are capable of funding all 11.7 of the scholarships allowed. In those instances, "full rides" would be even tougher to provide because of the scarcity of funds.)

    more than one way - to skin

    This is probably a good place to ADD the "academic notes."

    FIRST thing the recruiter will ask your son - after he caught their eye with the 91 mph FB or the BOMB he hit - is -

    "Can tell me about yourself - ACADEMICALLY?"

    Programs / coaches will make sure that this second avenue to $ is explored.

    The best coaches will stay on the fellas to make good grades and prepare well for standardized tests.
