Midwest Mom posted:My math isn’t wrong if you’re willing to believe that the 11.7 is divided up amongst players in various ways so they end up getting at least 25% of their entire education paid for by the end of senior year. Hard to believe a HC of a Big Ten School would lie about the entire conference.
Maybe you misunderstood...but the way you are thinking is DEFINITELY not how baseball scholarships work. Sure, a fully funded (11.7) program can give the maximum number of players (27) a minimum scholarship. But they don’t get 11.7 new scholarships to hand out every year on top of the ones they hs last year, which it seems you are implying. The D1 scholarship requires a minimum 25% to be granted. To get “at least 25% of their entire education paid for by their senior year” means you would be on scholarship exactly one year
