"I prefer choosing the school that wants you the most provided everything meets your needs."
But HOW are kids determining what their "needs" are?
Baseball is a unique situation compared to football & basketball. Seems to me the buyer (aka the family) is in the power position because they will be asked to PAY in most circumstance 75%+.
I think your logic is great for a football player getting 100% scholarship. But being left with a bill of 75%+ would make want to put a little more thought into the process than just "going to the school that wants me the most".
