Can't say we have, but it's opening day and I'm excited. So here's a pic of new Sewell-Thomas:

You mean Opportunity Vanderbilt which is available to every student on campus with financial need? Yeah it's just awful that a university works to help all students with rising education costs.

How does this work? Does the splitting of the 11.7 scholarships allow someone to get in via an athletic scholarship and then as a result of being in they have financial aid kick in?

Or do they have to qualify to get into Vanderbilt like a regular student does and then have financial aid to get in? I would think with Vandy's tuition at around $50k per year, kids and families would need at least a $200k signing bonus to even consider going to the pros.

I guess Opportunity Vanderbilt when it kicked off a few years ago has helped tremendously. My question is what took them so long to figure this out?

Well, since they are students first, Opportunity Vanderbilt contributes based on the student's FAFSA. 64% of undergrads last year received some form of aid through Opportunity Vanderbilt. The 11.7 scholarships are then split up much like any other school.

Even between Opportunity Vanderbilt and a baseball scholarship, many will still have to pay some % of their tuition. Dansby Swanson, for example, took out student loans to pay for Vanderbilt.

Creighton has a decent team each year...but there isn't enough space here to name all the teams that have won a game at TD Ameritrade Park.

Yes there are ... as long as you're not trying to be a baiting suckeye B1G dick and you stick to the original premise of the OP's that of CWS teams that have won games there.

The list is quite short actually.

Even shorter is the list of programs who have won CWS titles there, I can probably name them off the top of my head.

South Carolina
Arizona
UCLA
Vandy
UVA
