Have seen the same thing - scholarship players get chance after chance after chance. Non-scholarship players rarely get chances, even if they are clearly better.
Not sure why this is, maybe human nature not to admit you’re not correct 100% of the time in selecting players. Maybe pressure by the administration to show ROI on the scholarship dollars. Hard to know.

Always follow the money.

It's no different in the pros. Yankees gave Cito Culver $1 million. He couldn't hit and was given like 8 years in the minors to prove he couldn't hit. Any NDFA with his numbers would have been cut after a year. It's all about saving face. When they give you money, you will get extended opportunities to hopefully justify the money.
