The one that got away... well, not the one. One of an uncountable number that ran for the hills, but nonetheless, he is tearing it up right now for the Tar Heels.
.472, 10 doubles, 1 HR, 13 RBI.
Free education? You do know how baseball scholarships work don't you?

No, I don't. I was under the impression that the major sports (Basketball, Baseball, Football) all got full rides at most schools. I know I had three offers from DII schools in baseball that offered to pay me half or more of my costs, and DII schools can't offer nearly the same as DI, so I just assumed it was Full ride + 1 year renewable like most.
Please explain the difference (no sarcasm here, just seriously curious)
Very few baseball players get full rides. Majority get 3/4 of a scholarship. I think UT has, what, 11 full scholarships to give to 25 players. Also (not starting a Raleigh debate) but when Raleigh started, Delmonico let the APR slip so much that they lost some of that. Baseball is one of the toughest sells regarding scholarships.

Here is a guess for Stubbs and what he was paying. Out of state cost is around 24K(a guess). I am also guessing that he was on about 50%. That's leaves 12K per year.
Very few guys gets 3/4 scholarships like a post mentioned above(1 or 2 per team). Stubbs was a big recruit so it is possible he got that but even then he was still paying around 6k.
Baseball is a very tough sport to recruit to and those coaches need to have some creative math skills for sure.

That's really sad. I'm paying less to go to a private school with no sports scholarships than they were to play a major sport at a state school.
Someone should do something about that sad situation. Thanks for the explanation though guys.
