curious question here. so now that NCAA has said it is legal to give out 34 or 35 scholarships for baseball does this mean the athletic department has to come up with roughly $875,000 to pay the full scholarship? I just based it off of 35 players times avg college price of $25,000 per year to come up with that number.

I am not sure I understand how all this supposed revenue sharing stuff will work out. Do all D1 schools across the country whether they are SEC school or a Southland conference school share same amount of money?

An NCAA Division I athletic department could need to come up with approximately $850,000 to fund 34 full baseball scholarships at an average cost of attendance of $25,000, as you estimated (adjusted for 34 players).

However, the actual cost varies by school, with some facing costs up to $1.7 million or more due to higher tuition or Title IX requirements.

Many schools, especially mid-majors, will not fully fund 34 scholarships due to budget constraints, opting instead for a mix of full, partial, or fewer scholarships.

Wealthier programs are better positioned to cover these costs, but even they must balance Title IX and revenue-sharing obligations.

thanks for the explanation. So we will have to worry every year about losing our best players to either top notch D1 schools in P4 conferences, or hope other mid majors with possibly higher budgets don't try to poach them??

Does the potential new baseball field money come out of same budget or is that going to be separately raised? Kind of puts a premium on getting new facilities to help the coaches trying to convince kids to come play at SFA. I would think that a brand new stadium on campus would help lure more kids our way.

In any event, it was a successful first year and hopefully they continue build on it next year like you all have said.

next thing you will be posting is that Templeton did not get any either????? They kept us afloat for most of the season and were our team MVPs in my opinion.

#8 seeded New Orleans looking to take it all in the SLC Championship Game today against #6 seeded HCU.

#1 seed and favorite SLU went 1-2 exiting pretty early.

SFA against New Orleans this season

Game One L 2-3 (SFA lead 2-1 going into the 8th; tied in the top of the 9th)
Game Two W 14-4 (in 7 innings)
Game Three L 2-3 (Held UNO scoreless for 6 straight innings)

SFA against HCU this season

Game One L 4-6 (SFA lead 4-1 in the bottom of the 5th, tied in the bottom of the 8th)
Game Two L 8-12 (SFA lead 8-3 in the bottom of the 6th, 8-6 in the bottom of the 8th)
Game Three L 4-6 (SFA lead 3-0 in the bottom of the 6th, 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th)

SFA is close to being where they need to be to end the post season tournament drought.

Interesting all the pitchers are much taller, and I wonder if that is by design?

The average MLB pitcher is 6'3 and taller pitchers can have a slight advantage in throwing harder as they have longer arms and legs giving them more force and velocity when throwing.

But doesn't mean a better pitcher.

There is a younger brother, Titus, a QB who is considered to be the #1 player in Idaho. He has offers from SFA and Sacramento State, with more sure to come his way.

It looks like Titus might be very on board with coming to SFA. He constantly likes everything at least I post on the Sawmill twitter and retweets a bunch of SFA stuff not related to his brother. It's gonna hinge on if Carthel is still here when he comes out though. Which is gonna hinge on us at minimum making the playoffs I feel.
