How do D1 colleges treat out of state scholarships as it applies to their 11.7 total? Meaning is tuition for public out state players considered roughly a 50% scholarship (even though dollar wise it may be more) thus leaving another half for the college to give out to another recruit ?? Sorry if I am confusing. I am not concerned about who receives more $$ in these examples only the actual scholarships remaining.
Example:
State University (D1) offers an in state player tuition $10,000 (a fictional number) which is roughly a half or 50% baseball scholarship with the player to pay for room and board $10,000 thus totaling $20,000 for the year. The school has remaining a half or 50% to offer another player. So 11.7 - .5 is 11.2 remaining.
Now a player (from out of state) receives tuition, but the value since he is out of state is say $18,000.. Even though the monies make the scholarship worth more than 50% (in this case almost 65%) the question is,
Is that out state scholarship considered a half when the school calculates how many scholarships it has used out of its D1 max of 11.7 thus 11.7 - .5 =11.2??? or is it 65% so 11.7 - .65 = 11.05 remaining???
Is the program being deducted from its funds the out state higher dollars even though it’s the same cost wise internally?????
Please provide your words of wisdom. I thought this might be helpful to know before pursuing out of state colleges.
Thank you.
