Keep in mind that the 11.7 has to do with NCAA.
Not all schools are fully funded (many are not).
Coaches see there other funds as a way to bridge the gap.
A school may fund only 6 scholarships for baseball. Academic, in-state and other types of scholarships may count against their 11.7, but they have a lot more latitude if they are only giving out 6 of those to begin with.
