Fungo I don't see this at all. As in every thing we do we have choices. It would be nice to have full rides for every player in BB but that just won't happen soon. BB is a money loser. Most programs are lucky to get over 100 spectators at a home game. Most BB programs do fund raisers inorder to build their program.
Whe I got my football offer I never ever saw the coach or spoke to them. Not even sure if they saw me play. I turned it down because back them it was basket weaving 101. I don't think BB is anywhere near that low level. Maybe if they threw money around like that BB would be full of low level academic guys who took basket weaving 101.
I think the strict rules have kept the BB player at a higher academic level.
