there are 25 players on the travel roster, what do you all think should be the number of scholarships ? 18? 20? More less

well 1st, they should get rid of the roster restrictions they have. Put it back to the way it was, then give out 18 scholarships. That's 8 position players + 5 pitchers + 5 extras. Seems fair to me

I think the sport deserves something comparable to the other sports as to roster/scholarship ratio. At MSU, players get about a 1/3 scholarship at the most. We are at a disadvantage because surrounding states (Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia - not sure about Alabama) give other scholarships on top of what the baseball program can do. I think if it was up to the SEC school presidents, they would do what is needed. There are 311 division baseball programs. Probably 275 of those programs lose money on baseball. It won't change anytime soon.
