Great news.

Do you think we take a flyer on that LSU pitcher mentioned earlier in the thread and see if Gunner can get him clicking?

Don't know, a personal connection helps, and I don't think Deggs has any connection to him. Deggs recruited Ardoin while he played at Sulphur HS and knows his father, Danny Ardoin. It looks like several of the young LSU pitchers will be recruited heavily.

Why does baseball have only 11.5 scholarships on 25 man roster? Is it the same for softball? Why the limitation? I would think the P4 conferences would easily fund 25 scholarships and force that change. What would UL and a lot of G5 schools do if it faced that change?

Title 9. Because there are 85 for football and girls do not play football, equality has to be achieved somewhere else.

Softball is 12.

They could easily give out 25 with no cost to the school, although online courses from other institutions have changed the equation somewhat.

Dumb limitation since it started, worse than no NIL in my opinion.

If thats the case why not just add more scholarships to softball to even it out, they only get 12 scholarships. I think it has to do more with funding, keeping a cap and keeping schools from scholarship stacking

Title 9 definitely factors into it. It's the reason why there's women's soccer and volleyball but no men's equivalents at most schools

tittle 9 is the issue

If you raise baseball and softball equally at the same time, Title IX is not an issue.

Not only that but by doing so, the overall numbers at the school come more into balance

Already answered.

It doesn’t cost the school a dime to put another student in the classroom.

Because of that, the athletic department never cuts a check to academics.

It's all paper cup accounting
