The future of college baseball

According to my information, UL Athletics cuts a check to the University every year for the cost of scholarships, or at the very least has the cost of scholarships cut from its funding from the university.

Either way, it is money that Athletics has to pay.

First thing we should have ever done was fully endow all scholarships.. but hey, what do we know..

What we must do now is prepare ourselves to pay for 300-400 scholarships rather than the 200 or so we now fund. Now is not the time to be infighting among our various sports. It is crucial that all be fightting on a united front, rather than jealously guarding our sport's short term self interest.

Do you see the flaw here?

"UL Athletics cuts a check to the University every year" and all you have to go by is "According to my information."

An entity that pays the tuition for 1% of the student population should be headline news and should leave a trail of promotional bragging rights going back 50 years.

No school in the country ever mentions this supposed annual transfer of enrollment funds from athletics to academics.

Why should they? It is an obvious cost of doing business

Academics will trot out a million dollar donor at halftime but totally ignore a multimilion dollar donation year after year after year?

The only way this doesn't get noted is if it isn't happening.

Whithin reason it doesn’t cost the school to add athletes, and it doesn't cost athletics what is pretended for its players to attend school.

Have you ever read about the Rice athletic department complaining of the monumental disadvantage they face compared to other schools?

Its a shell game.

I’ll say it this way if you are not in a P5 conference you are a have not when this whole game changes to a semi pro league.
