Well this answers the question:

quote:

Here’s a basic rundown of the scholarships other sports received in the FY2011 report: women’s basketball gave 14 scholarships worth $581,080, men’s basketball gave 11.5 worth $440,269, volleyball gave 12.5 worth $439,946, gymnastics gave 16 worth $573,785, and men’s and women’s tennis combined for 13 scholarships worth $441,048.


eta:
quote:

Using LSU’s FY2011 NCAA Financial Report numbers, most sports are able to fill out roughly three-fourths of their roster with athletes who receive a full-ride scholarship. If LSU’s sports teams still used the same number of scholarships listed in the report, the women’s basketball team, gymnastics team and women’s golf team would be 100-percent covered with scholarships, the men’s basketball team would be 88 percent covered and the volleyball team would be 75 percent covered.


It's a baseball story, but it covers the general topic fairly well. LINK

Good read, thanks for sharing. Like some of you others, I would have killed to play for LSU.

Ultimately it's going to be up to us as a fanbase to demand it.

I'm just a lurker, but I know the power of the Rant.. if we can nickname the HB and solve murder mysteries, we can get a f'n soccer team.
