Thank you. Would you mind providing a link to the NCAA website where you are reading that?

Thank you
Just to counter a point made in previous post and to demonstrate what others have said in terms of each program doing things differently. My son's team will head into spring season with at least 2 preferred walk-ons competing for time on the bump. Both were late bloomers who have upside but unproven at this point. I know that at least one of them was told...show us what you can do in the spring and we will revisit athletic money. This specific coach is known for taking some risks with late bloomers or beneath the radar kind of kids with potential upside.

I posted this in the ABCA thread but perhaps it fits better here. The data below is interesting -- average of 24 on a D1 team receiving baseball $$, which means ~10 guys are not. Average number of scholarships is 10.58 -- half the programs have maximum 11.7 and the other half average about 9.5 scholarships
FWIW: https://d1baseball.com/news/ab...mer-2019-hot-topics/
"No action is imminent in the decades-long quest to raise college baseball’s scholarship limit from 11.7, but it remains No. 1 on the wish list for a great many coaches, and also for the ABCA.
First, some data provided by the ABCA:
Total Division I baseball programs in 2018: 297
Limit of scholarship equivalencies: 11.7
Number of programs offering 11.7 scholarships: 149 (50 percent)
Average number of equivalencies awarded: 10.58
Average number of student-athletes receiving aid: 24 (out of a maximum 27)
Proportion of equivalencies vs. student-athletes on aid: 44 percent"
FriarFred posted:From NCAA Web Site: If a school plans to reduce or not renew a student-athlete’s aid, the school must notify the student-athlete in writing by July 1 and provide an opportunity to appeal. In most cases, coaches decide who receives a scholarship, the scholarship amount and whether it will be renewed.
Signing Deadline for the draft is July 6. Stud junior decides 7/5 that he isn't signing, all the coach has to do is call a player and tell them they won't make the team next year and need to transfer if they still want to play. Always ways around it.
Baseball123456789 posted:I have 3 questions that I could use some help on:
1. What is the actual date that D1 baseball rosters have to be set for the Spring season? Is it just the day before the first game of the season or some earlier period of time?
2. If a player is on scholarship for the 2018-2019 year but can’t play for medical reasons (such as still recovering from TJ surgery) does he still count against the 35 man roster or can the team get a waiver since he won’t play at all in the Spring? I know he is a counter but since he won’t play can the team obtain a waiver and keep another player for the season?
3. What is the deadline for telling a player who was on scholarship the previous year that he won’t have a scholarship for the following year? What happens if he is never told that by the team but eventually realizes that his scholarship was not renewed (such as by seeing in his tuition bill that there is no scholarship applied to reduce his tuition)?
Appreciate the answers to these questions and also perhaps a link to where these actual rules can be found within the NCAA guidelines.
I can provide an answer to #2 since this is what happened to my son. He had TJ the summer prior to his freshman year in college, so he was out for his first season. While it did not affect his 4-year scholarship, eligibility, or future on the team, the team did appeal to the NCAA for a waiver to take him off the roster that year (where he would have otherwise been a counter) so they could replace him with another player. They did this with our assistance and cooperation (we had to provide extensive medical records). However, I believe this may have been possible only because he was injured prior to enrolling in college. If he had been injured while on the team, they may not have had the option of taking him off the roster. Rick Allen at Informed Athlete could answer this for sure. Son spent that spring in rehab getting strong and was paid to work the scoreboard, but he really missed the camaraderie of being "on" the team that first year.
