Reply to "11.7 Scholarships Per Team"

This is a "kinda know" answer.  With Title IX, for every 1 scholarship provided to a male athlete, 1 full scholarship is awarded to a female athlete.  For the schools that play D1 football, 85 full football scholarships are provided annually(99.9% male athletes) so there are at least 85 full scholarships made available to female athletes in softball, soccer, swimming and golf to name a few... Where it gets muddy for me is regardless of whether a D1 school has football or not, those D1 baseball programs are still limited to 11.7 baseball scholarships.  Seems without football, those programs scholly limits would increase by 85 across all sports, including baseball.  I assume the NCAA would consider it a competitive advantage for non-football playing D1's to have more scholarships in baseball.
