[QUOTE="frogtex, post: 2121733, member: 8078"] CJS has explained this to the Diamond Club many times, beyond having a MUCH larger endowment and financial aid base, the other major difference between Vandy/Rice and TCU is that they allow major exceptions to the admissions policy for "special talents" both in athletics and on the general campus....so, for example, an baseball player who isn't a great student, but is NCAA eligible, and who comes from a low income family is going to not only get a HUGE scholarship (none of it from baseball) from Vandy but he is going to be admitted to school.....at TCU, he isn't getting admitted unless he is on baseball aid.... TCU merit aid has increased....but you must be a GREAT student to get it...... bottom line is that TCU is the most expensive school in the Big 12 and doesn't have even close to the same number of "scholarships" that Vandy and Rice do..... makes the job our staff is doing in baseball even more impressive.

Verification
