I would hope that they would go to 17.5 at least.

11.7 is a ridiculous number.

I have a good friend that was a direct intern under Mark Emmert a few years ago. he's still a HUGE LSU fan. I'm really surprised for his own fanhood he hasn't lobbied for more scholarships for baseball. it'd do wonders for the sport


eta: I understand hot Title IX works. my problem is that we can't just justify it with science. Softball doesn't need 10 pitchers with the underhand motion

Sure, it's inflated every time LSU makes it, but I guarantee you even on its worst days, the NCAA baseball tournament is drawing more people/money than the NCAA lacrosse tournament.

Because of title 9 every male scholarship gets a female scholarship.

So every female bench player at every school is on full ride. Male athletes are often paying their own way or getting a partial scholarship.

since women are eligible to receive a football scholarship, shouldn't it be removed from the equation?

I know nothing about lacrosse but from googling for a second it seems like they draw pretty well? Maybe I'm wrong.

I thought genders didn't play sports ... athletes do?


Seems like every college should get a lump sum of schollies to do with as they please with any sport.

That would probably be worse honestly, it would just lead to Alabama using 90% of their scholarships on football and the rest of the country would follow suit with the hope of keeping pace.

I don't believe that is correct. My daughter played D2 soccer and most of the players were on partials.
