I do like the baseball system, as far as either go pro, or go to college, and stay 3 years(at least).
And I agree, full scholorships would help some players go to college(which would prolly be better for the country too) instead of MLB. 20 Would not allow you to give everyone a full ride, but would help. Considering how many athletic departments still lose money, that is still pushing it, without more money being spent on college baseball by outside sources.
Yeah, the MLB has the deck stacked in their favor as they pay for guys who don't pan out to go to college after the MLB career is done. Several QBs come to mind over the years and most of these guys were "walk-ons" because MLB was footing the bill.
But yes, only a few baseball programs across the country are revenue producing ones and I wouldn't be surprised if an increase in baseball schollys meant an increase of equal amounts to other women's sports as well.

I agree completely. Baseball needs more money from outside sources, so it is possible to increase scholarships. Interest is growing, but we need more. We need more fans in the seats, and more eyeballs on TV to increase TV contracts.
