For football, if he gets in a game, he counts against the 85 total allowed.

Was coming say this very thing. It's also common in other smaller sports. Gymnastics(not so small these days), Tennis, Golf. Really helps the team out if a good athlete is a nerd too.

Baseball has no choice. I really hate the scholarship limits on baseball. Its ridiculous.
I wonder how many of them are awarded academic scholarships for baseball, and other sports with low scholarship limits, that otherwise wouldn't have gotten a scholarship if it wasn't for the sport. Seems like a loophole for universities that do/can afford to do this.

Always wondered about this, what about tops for an in-state baseball player? If he doesn't have a Scholly, can he still use tops?

TOPS has really helped in-state baseball recruiting for all the schools not just LSU.

TOPS is HUGE for baseball!!! Let's say you have 2 recruits. 1 from La and 1 Out of State. My understanding is it will cost the In state kid around 22K to attend school(All IN). TOPS accounts for around 35% of the total cost. LSU throws a partial at usually 25% and now that kid is at 60%...not bad! OOS kid may cost closer to 35 or 40K per year. No TOPS for him so LSU has to throw more $$ his way to drive the cost down for him to attend. That player may have to eat up 60 to 75% or more of the actual baseball monies unless he get some other academic type stuff. 11.7 SUCKS and needs to be addressed! Heard the story of the Coastal Carolina guy that came out of school like 150k in Student Loan debt... just sickening!!

Yea I think I heard Charlie discussing this very topic during a game last year or two.
Hard to fathom a starter on a varsity sport having student loan debt. That is fricked up.

Hopefully a couple of brave men put on wigs and destroy title ix from the inside.

Also, baseball attracts kids from a much higher socioeconomic status than football does. Travel ball has priced many poorer kids out at a younger age. A lot of the really good players come from parents who can afford to pay for college.

Thanks Title IX

So, if a preferred walkon plays in a sport like football then he has to go towards your athletic scholarship total, but not so with baseball?
That answers the question I was having with a softball player being on academic scholly.

No a walk on who plays in any sport does not count against the scholarship limit. That guy has no idea what he is talking about.

It is borderline unfair for schools in other states when competing against LSU, though.
