I don’t think vandy will change anything with this. Their advantage is already maxed out. I was told by someone that would know that their financial aid $ would decrease if athletic dollars were added so there is no need to spend any 11.7. So it’s a wash for them.In essence, the rich just got richer. Tim Corbin’s job just became that much easier. All those kids who were getting huge need based aid, and Vandy recruits a lot of kids that fall into this category as the threshold is pretty high, can now get baseball money on top of that. In the past, Vandy put their recruits into two piles - those whose families made under $150k for example and were getting a lot of financial need based aid and those who didn’t. They threw all the 11.7 baseball money at those in the second category. Take Austin Martin who was just drafted 5th. He was a walk on because he qualified for a lot of need based money and therefore didn’t require baseball money. Now for instance, Vandy can throw a little baseball money at those kids and they are on a full ride, like in the article, a kid gets 70% need / merit based aid can be given 0.3 of the 11.7 and not pay a dime. I expect the majority of their team to now be on full scholarships. It’s hard to recruit against that. Think of your son being offered a full ride at Vandy vs 1/2 scholarship at Tennessee. It would be hard for you to pass up the full ride.
As I stated before this will not help vandy any. If they give a kid athletic $ then their need based aid will be lowered by the school is what I am told.Article in today’s paper about how the changes will benefit Vanderbilt:

An attempt at logical discussion with BruinRegardless of what you’ve been told, it will absolutely help Vanderbilt. Anyone not looking through black and gold glasses can see that. Every article written by a plethora of sources says the same. Bruin, you have some strange out there opinions and beliefs, but tell me you don’t truly believe Corbin and the university won’t use this to their advantage.

This might be a life time achievement award of an understatement!
look man you realize those quotes have been out there for years and again you need to stop commenting on my post like you know what I have said over the years.
I also remember the things you said about Vincent Dallas when he quit the football team for reasons you knew nothing about but now blame CTV for players leaving. Why was he a weak soft &@“$@ who couldn’t handle competition but it’s all the coaches’ fault for over recruiting when players leave the baseball team?
.
So you’re saying you didn’t say what a huge Vandy fan you had become in the World Series thread a few years ago?
Maybe it’s you that don’t really know what all you’ve said over the years...
