My NC coaching source had aslo stated in his email response to my inquiry: "That law saved our athletic department in the neighborhood of $250,000 per year. We, as a baseball program, did not have any of our athletes on a full scholarship and we did not participate in any way with the tuition waiver. We did see benefits from the athletic department saving money in our s****r, volleyball, and basketball programs." Interesting that he did not mention football where the scholarships would be full. Perhaps the accounting savings for football was not shared with the other sports.
I would think that by no longer having an accounting subsidy for the out-of-state players, the NC resident athletes should look more attractive to the NC state supported institutions.
