    It's all paper cup accounting
    Does the scholarship include books? If so, there would be a cost there.

    Another scam where they have to get new books every year.

    Scholarship limits are an NCAA restriction not a school restriction.

    Texas St 3B Aaron Lugo, who led their team in every offensive category this season (avg, runs, doubles, HRs, RBIs, OPS, SBs) is transferring to U of Houston

    Seems like a lateral move

    That was my first thought too. Then remembered Houston is moving to the Big 12

    Three things:

    1. You are not putting another student in the classroom. Increasing scholarships does not mean increasing rosters. Those athletes are already students.

    2. You are correct in saying it doesn't cost the university anything, and it is all accounting, but it does need to happen for NCAA and Title IX purposes.

    3. What I don't know, and have never been able to get good answers on, is, outside of scholarships, what are the additional cost of scholarship versus non-scholarship athletes. I would think room & board, but wonder if insurance, food, etc come into play.

    I think perhaps today it looks that way, but Houston is still in the new look Big 12. A better conference when it comes to media markets.

    then it goes to coaching, travel cost, meals, equipment, facilities, professors, maintenance staff, janitors, electricians, plumbers, yard maintenance, recruiting, paint, lumber, lawn mowers, and every single other expense it costs to provide an education for the $20,000,000 of students under scholarship

    Money they are spending regardless if scholarships are 11.5 or 25

    So, with only 11.5 scholarships to give, are those shared in some way among the 25 players or do only 12 players get scholarships and the other 13 have to pay their way? Is it the same for softball? Seems like an unfair system to me. It doesn't have to be that way. Just offer scholarships to all baseball and softball players for equality under Title 9.

    Also, how do scholarships work for other sports like T&F, golf (only men), soccer and volleyball (only women). Do only football and basketball have scholarships for all players (men and women)? If so, why not other sports if everyone gets scholarships?

    Lastly, if schools are set on DEI (and I think UL is under Dr. S), wouldn't it be interesting to apply that to athletics. If course, no one wants to see that in athletics or any other field for that matter, but it does illustrate the ridiculousness of DEI.
