re: Lottery scholarships and college baseball programs

But seriously, I think the consensus is, yes, it makes a difference and offers some advantage to public schools in those states. Ron Polk spent lots of time in the latter part of his career complaining about this and trying to increase the number of baseball scholarships. But college baseball doesn't tip the scale nationally, so any efforts to change this just won't get any traction. Any influentual media outlet has too many other beefs with the NCAA, so I don't see anything being done about it anytime soon....

College baseball will continue to have the advantaged and the disadvantaged, although there has been more parity emerge in the last 10-12 years.
