2) What is your family's financial situation?

   Again, Vandy from a family that can help support you for three years is not the same as coming from poverty with a 30% scholarship from Northern Colorado 

I don't think most people realize how much of a difference this is between baseball and football. What is a  smart kid who has zero money for college going to do with a 75% offer from Vandy? Where is he going to get the other $15K per year to attend. He can  borrow the money, but that's really betting on yourself in a big way. Easy for us to say that a Vandy degree is well worth that investment in the long run, but much tougher for the guy who's trying to keep his scholarship, work toward a meaningful degree, and survive with very little money.
