I think I could argue against your point by saying we may see schools drop scholarships if revenue does not increase. Necessarily, that could impact baseball specific admits.

I understand your point, however there is not direct correlation between special admits and scholarships. The funding for scholarships could decrease while the allowance for special admits go the other direction and increase. My point, was that sports where the students pay 50% or more in costs could very well be attractive to colleges struggling for admissions.

The Army cancellation turned out to be at Title IX issue, as you were correct, there is a lack of funding for womens travel sports. Just as an FYI, sports funding at service academies is 100% private or sports generated revenue. Hence many mens sports are well funded, while womens sports, being fairly young, don't have ex athletes in the over 50 category that is so crucial to fundraising.
