We should easily be able to fund full scholarships for the whole baseball team...

The key is it has to be the "same standards" as regular students. So, we should give them leadership scholarships based on the windfall. We can do it on a case by case basis- waiving out of state tuition if a player qualifies and etc.

Disagree. I don't have a problem with them getting academic scholarships if they qualify. But they shouldn't be treated special just because they play baseball. Remember ... we are first and foremost an academic institution.

That's true. But most of our baseball players come in with GPA's of 3.0 or much higher in many instances. Plus, I would say being a likely captain on a baseball team while excelling at the sport would qualify as being a solid leader. At least IMO.

And what I just said is probably very minimal of what they do off the field in high school- I'm sure most play other sports, are active in their church and FCA.

Most of our baseball players are very sharp. An ACT 27/28 is a full ride scholarship., Would be Interested to know how many players are full ride academic scholarships are playing this year.
