You know that all universities, colleges have an annual budget which comes from revenue. That revenue helps determine what each individual coach would receive for their budget.

I don't understand why you might think MSU baseball has no budget.

Obviously some big football programs bring in more $$ than others due to success. This and other revenue helps each of the other teams.

Then you have teams in lottery states that provide academic assistance if the academic GPA requirements were met in HS.

Then the player can be awarded financial assistance if necessary.

My point is that it's pretty tough to determine what a baseball coach or any other coach has to spend or how he spends it.  In D1 sports NCAA only requires what is allowed not in how much money the coach gets to spend. In one program 25% minimum might cover a lot of the cost, in another, perhaps not so much. 

In lottery states the majority of rosters for baseball and other head count sports will be from that state. This gives the coach the ability  to get a few out of state players that he/she feels will help the team.
