[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS plays baseball and he is in the recruiting process right now (he's in high school.)  We have educated ourselves on the money situation in baseball.  [b]And if he is recruited to play D1 baseball, we are very aware of how little money he is going to get.[/b]

In baseball, each team is allowed to carry 35 players.  Only 27 are allowed to get any money, so right off the bat, 8 of the team members get $0.  The schools are only allowed to give out 11.5 scholarships.  Usually the coaches will divide that money up but a player has to get at least 25%.  And a program might not be fully funded.  For the sake of easy math, if tuition and room and board is $10,000 (i know that's low), a fully funded program would have $115,000 to dole out to 27 players.  But the program may only be given a budget of $100,000 so they are $15,000 short.  And the money is guaranteed for only the one year.  So if a player doesn't perform, the coach may keep the athlete on the team the second year but not offer any money.[/quote]

And Div I at an Ivy would be $0.
