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.

TV is going to increase soon, it shouldn't hurt attendance as baseball is a different sport to watch in person vs on TV. There is so much of the game to watch away from the ball vs football/basketball.
College Baseball also has the problem of competing with other college sports, it starts during the prime of basketball while also having to go against spring football. However, it is all by itself for the post season.
