If that's the case why does men's hockey get more schollies?
there are about 60 D1 men's hockey programs, there are over 300 D1 baseball programs.
If you think baseball doesn't get more schollys because they don't bring in enough money, why does softball get 13 and track and field get like 15?

That shouldn't really affect the calculations for an individual school.
Why not have 15 for baseball and take a few from, say, men's golf? You'd be the same in terms of Title IX...it's the NCAA that says you can't do it.
Plus the courts have exempted NCAA rules from the Title IX laws.
ETA: My last sentence isn't clear. The NCAA (organization) is exempt from Title IX, the individual schools aren't. The ruling came in a case where a female athlete graduated with eligibility left and went to graduate school somewhere else. The NCAA wouldn't let her play. She sued because the NCAA routinely lets male athletes play in that situation...the NCAA basically admitted to treating women different and took the position that it was legal. The NCAA won on that point.
