We have 2 in that stretch - which is perhaps the most tumultuous stretch of baseball in our history. And that is after having gone to 0 CWS in the decade prior to that.

If you want to be able to help - give more money to campus scholarship funds so they can give more. That $30k OOS cost of attendance can shrink very easily with smart baseball players - or any student for that matter. My kid will be coming from GA this fall with $16k in scholarships and band stipends - which will make it less expensive then going to UGA with HOPE. Push our administration to be creative, but legal, with every available possible $ to close that gap.
I might be misremembering but didn't Cohen do some of this to level the playing field when he got here? It seems like Polk had more of an agenda so we kind of suffered for it. My cousin got a lot of scholarship money to go to UAB because my uncle and aunt looked for it. They figured out there is a lot of scholarship money that isn't used because people just don't know to apply for it.
