I have news for you, with or without a lottery each team get 11 and some odd schollies.

all schools get the same. now, some private schools have been approved for certain financial aid packages but it still cost the player more to attend them.

the "we only get rich kids that nobody else wanted" is really an amazing statement and incredibly untrue.

TOPS has been an advantage for LSU baseball. LINK

quote:

Since its inception, the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students — otherwise known as TOPS — gave Louisiana’s state schools some cost-effective flexibility on the college baseball diamond.

Per NCAA rules, Division I baseball programs are given 11.7 scholarships to distribute among a total of 27 student-athletes at what percentage the head coach sees fit. Typically the scholarships are divvied up by portions and divided among team members.

"The TOPS program, to me, felt like it gave you three or four more scholarships to work with," Louisiana Tech baseball coach Greg Goff said. "It's a tremendous, tremendous advantage for the state of Louisiana baseball teams."

The TOPS program allowed Louisiana coaches to save scholarship money by filling out their rosters with in-state players who met the requirements of a 20 on the ACT and 2.8 GPA for a tuition waiver.
