Boomer transferred solely for economic reasons and probably loves TCU as much as Hyman. He is looking forward to playing for the good guys, though, and I hope he plugs right in to the lineup.

The way to stop the private school advantage is to allow 18 scholarships which is what baseball should be. The SEC should take the lead and push for the extra ships. Baseball is becoming a contributing sport with bigger stadiums, larger crowds and TV money. This would also get more kids to choose college instead of going pro.

What is a "contributing sport"? Money? Don't we lose money on baseball?
Even so, baseball is mostly an afterthought at most schools. I doubt 20 schools even average 3000 people.per game

SEC baseball is about to be a profitable enterprise because of the SEC Network. The conference absolutely needs to use its leverage to increase scholarship limits.

I think politically you could argue for a couple of scholarships added to one or two women's sports to balance it out, e.g. 2 to softball and one to soccer or something like that. I don't necessarily think that 18 baseball scholarships is achievable in the near future, but 15 is, especially since the limit was 13 in the early 90s and was dropped by 10% to arrive at the current 11.7. You can't argue that baseball is in worse financial shape than in 1990.

If you round up, there are 21 schools and 30 over 2,500

Private schools like Vanderbilt who have need based scholarships have an advantage, at a massive cost to the university..but they don't have an advantage over University of Virginia (who they are playing tonight) who also has no-loan financial assistance (at a massive cost to the taxpayer).
Once again, these are the schools with an actual large advantage:

OBVIOUSLY, this is not done primarily as a "loophole" for athletes. The resources that Vandy has dedicated for trying to keep their students from having crippling student loans out of college is incredible.
