Thats the lottery issue. Baseball gets 11.5 schollie's. Split between 25 man traveling roster and 35 home roster. So saying, only the in state kids get it, well yes, thats the issue. They are able to give every in state kid a full ride through the lottery and technically deem them to be walk-ons. Then split the 11.5 amongst the out of staters. So they can offer a kid from anywhere a close to full ride where as the schools in Mississippi and Alabama can only offer very small partial ships and still keep the in state talent. HUGE adavantage! Its not the states fault they have lotteries but the NCAA should regulate how walk ons can benefit from it. But I'm in mississippi so what do I know?

baseball gives 11.7 scholarships & Lsu does not give full scholiies. you must give at least a 1/3 or 1/4 and can have only 35 on the team - ways it goes. in louisiana we have TOPS scholarships but you have to meet mininum requirements to get one & they do go to only instate students & technically not funded by the lottery.
