When Candy starts revealing the actual admission numbers and defines economic need I'll gladly participate in disclosures. Until such time, you're requesting something you can't provide.

Pre Corbin is what Candy baseball really looks like. Without OV candy would be average like all other sports without financial advantage

That's not how it works but you can use it as a convenient excuse if you want to

Everyone else seems to.

Your true feelings are showing here. Corbin’s really done a number on you. Almost as if it’s personal.

My “show your work” request was in response to this comment. It’s wildly inaccurate.

This my friend is underachieving based on 16 number one recruiting classes and an average of just less than number three in the other five.

You just throw stuff like this out and expect people to take your word for it or take you seriously. You do realize that David Price and 2007 Vanderbilt that was ranked #1 for most of the year predates OV, don’t you?

Corbin has had the benefit of the endowment scam his entire tenure. You are correct that they didn't start OV till a bit later. You do however prove my point as evidenced by your David Price example.

Being fully funded is why Price went to VU.
Just read his Wikipedia page which reads,

"...Price was drafted in the 19th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers out of high school, he did not sign, and instead chose to attend Vanderbilt University on an academic scholarship." (Insert wink, wink)

The use of academic endowment funds pre-dated OV.

Once again, you assert something with zero proof. Of course, you still haven’t addressed your false data claim, which further discredits you. You’ve never acknowledged that your favorite school(s) could create a program similar to OV, as other large schools have done, to help defray rising tuition costs.

Clearly you have a massive axe to grind over Corbin, all with the aim of trying to discredit a great baseball coach.

A great baseball coach would have made it to 10 to 14 CWS appearances with 16 #1 recruiting classes and five more with an average ranking of 3.

If great Corbin would have produced Saban level results. Saban's recruiting rankings look like Corbin's but Saban actually produced ....

Still with this ridiculously false data? This isn’t even remotely close to being true but I’m sure you’ll just dodge it yet again.

financial advantage


Every other school in the conference subsidizes tuition with tax dollars. Raise your tuition if you want to level the playing field, poors.
