Frankly, the coaching issue should’ve been this way for a long time. Why should a smaller conference be able to dictate whether bigger leagues can add more coaches? Ridiculousness. Common sense might prevail.

Also, prepare for a new division within D1. That will happen. https://t.co/tTyKAKHQUf

What does that mean? That a school could have 85 full scholarship baseball players if it wants? One school in the SEC has 59 dudes on full scholarship while NCSU has 22? That doesn't make any sense.

Sounds like the college sports that so many of us enjoy will be gone in the next 3-5 years and all sports will just be feeder teams to the pro leagues. That sucks.

I hope this is addressing amount of scholarships for a team, not number of players that can be on scholarship, assuming the below is currently the case.

"NCAA D1 baseball programs are allowed to offer a maximum of 11.7 athletic scholarships, which can be divided up among a maximum of 27 players."

So essentially they would be able to provide 27 full ride scholarships vs having to split it up or provide then via other mechanisms (academics?). If this increases the 27 max, you are right. College sports are about to be a clown show.

Good info. Didn't even think of that. If it does go from having to split up the 11.7 to allowing all to be full scholarship at 27 then that is great. But then that brings in Title IV issues i'm sure and that is a whole other cane of worm. God the NCAA sucks.

If Biden gets his way, Title IX will be broken beyond repair anyway.

"Under the Department's new rules, separating athletic teams and intimate facilities based on biological sex would be illegal. If a high school boy declares that he 'identifies' as a girl, the school would be required to allow him to walk into the girls' locker room while girls are changing, or enter the girls' bathroom to use the facilities alongside his female peers," it adds.

"Any attempt to prevent this would be discriminatory conduct prohibited by Title IX. With regard to sports, the Department's new 'gender identity' rule would rob girls and women of equal athletic opportunities by requiring schools to allow biological boys and men to compete in women's athletics."

I think conferences will have to make a unilateral decision together on # of scholarships? Idk for sure but I know this will lead to big changes
