Scholarships at various schools

There is a very good book that is published by The Sport Source each year that is sport specific. We purchased the baseball book and found it had detailed information about each school and their baseball program. (i.e. coaches name, in state / out of state cost, enrollment, sat requirements, # of scholarships, degrees offered, roster makeup) The most referenced info for my son was the female to male ratio's listed.

Here is a link to the The Sport Source if you would like more information. If you click on the sample link it will show a D3 school however all levels of schools are listed in the book. I think it cost about $35 but I can't tell you how helpful it was in researching all the schools my son was showing interest in.

There was a link on this site about a year ago with the site that lists all the schools athletic dept finances. It shows how much is spent per player, what the coaches salaries are, and I think how many scholarships are funded by the schools. Do a search here and you may find it.

CaBB it is called Equity in Athletics.

The OPE Equity in Athletics Data Analysis Cutting Tool Website

I'm not sure there is a way to determine if a school fully funds their scholarships other than to ask the coach or AD. That's what we did.

I think I might have even started it so I'll see if I can dig it up. I'm not sure if we ever came up with anything conclusive but it might be interesting anyway.

You guys are awesome, knew someone would remember. It's a great website and with a little digging you can find lots of info.

Thanks!

It does have alot of interesting info, but you have to kinda read between the lines a bit. For example, if a school averages under $1K of expenses per player, you can probably assume no scholly's.

One relatively low-level D1 we're looking at averaged just under $4K, or about $100K of baseball expenses. But who knows, they could have put that towards field renovations or batting cages, etc. It a bit of a leap to assume that one particular year's expenses are scholarship related.

But still another resource - thanks!!

gomo - Sorry but "work" got in the way of posting this for you sooner:

Fully funded program versus partial

I think the link posted by homerun here and Coach Merc in the original thread are the same but thought you'd like the discussion as well.
