re: My Non-travel ball playing nephew just made the HS baseball team

My nephew, if he goes to college, will probably get 40%-50% for baseball because his a academics will cover the rest. In baseball it's pretty much the smarter you are the less scholarship money you get from the athletic side. But they will make up as much of the difference as possible if they have the grades/scores. That is what I meant by "full ride", which you are correct, is not exactly accurate. If a kid gets 90% of a baseball scolly he is likely dumb as a box of rocks.
