there are about 60 D1 men's hockey programs, there are over 300 D1 baseball programs.
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.

Its a cash thing. The 'AA dosen't give out more baseball scholarships because the sport as a whole generates little money
Baseball makes more money for the NCAA than everything other than Basketball. Thats because of the regionals and CWS. Football goes to the schools and the bowls. Baseball is like that because of Title 9. Football takes up a majority of mens schollies and they have to even it out. Womens rowing has more scholarships than baseball.
