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
Meh. What's Polk's excuse now? MSU is doing pretty damn good without it.

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.
exactly. I don't think baseball needs more than 11.7 scholarships because it isn't a revenue sport for most schools. In the SEC, who actually makes money on baseball? LSU, Arky, Ole Miss, MSU, USCe. That's it, right?

But if they were able to give more scholarships, they could keep more of the talent from going pro earlier increasing the level of play and profitability.
