Given Title IX (which I am not bashing--just asking), wouldn't any increase in baseball scholarships need to be offset by either reducing scholarships in some other men's sport or increasing them for women's sports? Not necessarily one-for-one, but can you just increase the money available to players in one area? That makes this an even more complicated situation.

More than likely, yes. Right now, football is the only sport that has two different counts for different levels of D1 (FBS vs FCS). And of coarse, football has two separate championships. Would baseball ever do anything like that? The changes discussed in the article are pretty dramatic. I don't think anything like this has been seriously considered in years, if not decades. (Maybe it's not that serious now, either.)
