re: College Baseball Scholarships 11.7?

Those sports pretty much only exist at non-football schools. With those 85 scholarships missing at those schools, the school has to fill the void with something. So you can't cut them and add to baseball, because that makes the numbers not work for football schools. Remember, the school itself doesn't control the amount of scholarships it can give. This is all controlled by governing bodies like the NCAA. And Title IX makes sure that there are an even number of scholarships available to men and women at a given institution. So since football takes up 85, other mens sports suffer to makes things even with women sports.
