That's also a numbers game - it's a lot easier to spread money over 15 players then over 35 or 85. And yes, basketball was always in the "helpin" business and had deep pocket funders.
I think some of the push back about baseball funding is purely about facilities. People look at The Dude and say "why can't the Hump be that good?".
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""
