Opportunity Vanderbilt Primer
Tons of confusion about Opportunity Vanderbilt. This should help but in the end you’re gonna believe what you want to believe.
Has zero with what "I want to believe". Its the facts. Privates schools have more tools in NCAA baseball to use. Its just the facts.
Plenty of respectable organizations have written articles about it.
I am not sure why you guys get bent over it. If LSU was a private school, they sure as shite would use the advantages.

Is it your stance Opportunity Vanderbilt is not an advantage at all or is it your stance it isn’t as much of an advantage as others believe?

Because they have to hear about it repeatedly yet they have failed to make the absolute most of it. *choke*

It was primarily created to allow Vanderbilt to be financially competitive with Ivy League schools to attract the best students. Secondarily, it allows Vanderbilt to be competitive with schools in the region. From an SEC baseball perspective, the net out of pocket cost is similar to other schools. The advantage within the SEC then becomes the higher quality education.

The article states that most elite baseball recruits are from affluent families, and all the opportunity program does for them is make the cost comparable to attending a state school.
I’d say that’s a huge advantage. Elite academic and athletic school (baseball) for the same cost as a state school which only might be elite in athletics. That’s a no-brainer.

Yes, the net advantage is an educational advantage. Many would have you believe that all players are walking into Vanderbilt not paying a dime out of pocket.

Opportunity Vanderbilt is also available for any student, not just in-state players like the lottery scholarships. It’s a huge advantage whether you care to accept it or not.

An educational advantage, not an out of pocket cost advantage. Ultimately, Vanderbilt is effectively addressing the issue of rising education costs and baseball fans of other schools are upset that given similar out of pocket costs, elite players are choosing Vanderbilt and Corbin over other schools.

What many don’t understand is that Corbin was already recruiting elite talent before Opportunity Vanderbilt. David Price, Mike Minor, Pedro Alvarez, Ryan Flaherty, Casey Weathers, Jeremy Sowers were all on campus years before Opportunity Vanderbilt. The mlb pipeline was already in place.

We are all filled with jubilation that such a magnificent university would empower whistlers with such grace.
It is absolutely glorious. I don't understand how you guys do it.

Haven't seen a person say that yet. What is the problem here then?

That is not true. Vandy has more educational tools with regards to "financial aids". Vandy has more educational scholarships to give out.

IF this were the ONLY case, no one would complain. It would be similar to just dealing withit like we deal with Bama in football getting basically anyone they want.

Yet you didn't make it to the CWS once before that.
Vandy made has made it to a regional 18 times. 12 of them came after Opportunity Vanderbilt in 2008.

I agree that they underachieved but that group started the Vandy mlb pipeline.
