[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With only a very few exceptions, the only full ride D1 athletic scholarships (for males at least) are for football and basketball. All others are partials. Half if lucky, but more likely 1/3 or 1/4. That makes the D3 full scholarship boast even more absurd. [/quote]

Absolute horseshit. My nephew got a full ride for swimming and my coworkers sons- both of them- got full rides for baseball.[/quote]

What PP was saying is that basketball and football have their own unique designation where all recruited athletes get a full ride.  Or put another way, 85 players are given full scholarships, which is likely the players that dress for games.

Baseball works the following (understand there are usually 50 players on a D1 baseball team):

D1 baseball programs can have up to 11.7 scholarships per team, but not every program awards the full allotment. The scholarships are equivalencies, meaning the value of the scholarships can be distributed among the team in different ways. Each scholarship athlete must receive at least 25% of the total program allotment.[/quote]
