Yes, many baseball teams have 50+ players, it's the warning that is given over and over on here. At D3s, everyone pays or is on academic or financial aid; all those golfers and rowers and squash-players are most likely paying full tuition. So I wouldn't be surprised if they use those sports to bring in the full-payers, and then recruit non-athletes who need financial or academic aid. I'm sure each school has its own mix. Stanford, on the other hand, gives scholarships, right?
