[quote=Anonymous]I’m most familiar with baseball.  In D1, teams are allowed a maximum of 35 players.  Of those 35, only 27 are allowed any athletic $ (and they don’t have enough money for full rides.  Most players are only getting partial scholarship $ and the coach can allocate his money to fewer players.  So 8 players on every team are going to be “walk-ons” if you are referring to no athletic money.  No money - the player can be cut.  Big programs  - the ones that recruit future MLB level players - have players that get drafted every year before they graduate.  They also may recruit a player who ends up getting drafted out of high school, so he never shows up on campus.  So coaches over-recruit to make sure they have 35 guys in the spring.  They’ll bring in 10 new guys, even though if everyone stays, he only has room for 7.  Remember, at least 8 can be cut because they are getting $0.  So the fall is the try-out.  Most likely, it’s going to be a freshman who is cut.  But there could be an upperclassman who is cut to get to 35 players in Feb.  [/quote]
