The blending of academic and athletic money is not as simple as you think. I believe most money is all athletic and little academic. there are lots of rules in the NCAA and i believe without a certain GPA you cant get academic mixed with athletic. im sure there are others who understand more than i do.

Right now your son's focus should be grades so he can go to the schools of his choice esp if he's interested in Pac10 and of course continue to develop his baseball skills. Nothing matters if he cant get into the school academically.

What a great site! Thanks for letting me join. We're in a similar situation: 2010 grad w/ some schools wanting us to come to a football game and get on their campus. We've heard from 1/2 the PAC 10 schools so far, along with a few others. We're not sure what to expect once we get there. I assume that if we get an offer, it will be be for the athletic part of a scholarship only. We haven't applied to any schools and haven't taken the SATs yet. With most of the scholarship $ being academic rather then athletic, the best offer may come from a college that offers less baseball wise but more "other" scholarship wise, right? How do you factor that unknown variable into the equation when looking at offers? I assume the coaches don't influence the other scholarship opportunities.
