Tulane gets their players on the legislative scholarships.

Yea, it can be a big advantage but the requirements to get that scholarship are pretty tough.


Not really, I was in the barbershop a few months back and they had a story on the news about this. There were multiple players on them, from legislators that aren't even in their district.

If a state rep doesn't have anyone in their district eligible, they ask Tulane if they know of any one that could use the scholarship. In both cases, that the reporter looked at, they were given to members of Tulane's baseball team.

28 on the ACT is one of the requirements, I believe. As far as I know that's pretty tough.

Eta: and yes there are multiple players on the team with them. Often times those kids aren't really good baseball players, but Tulane takes them because they've had trouble getting a full 35 man roster and these kids get to go there for free without using a baseball scholarship. They provide some depth and maybe you get lucky and he develops into something more.
