@mptposted in the baseball portal thread this article which I think is big news.
SEC Commish is getting his wish to make baseball a full scholarship roster sport so come Fall 2025, programs can offer (most likley) 35 full scholarships per team compared to the 11.7 they can offer up today.
Of course with NIL $$, scholarship limits for major programs don't matter much anymore but for most other programs, this will be a big jump in expense (including housing, along obviously with tuition, dining, etc...)
Now if Baseball jumps from 11.7 to 35 scholarships, that's a jump of 23.3 scholarships and your program will still have to be in compliance with Title IX so this might mean a school might have to add 1 or 2 female sports (at a big cost) just to remain in compliance.
I wonder what Coach Wallace thoughts are on this?
