[QUOTE="Gary's Shirtless Revenge, post: 2426309, member: 72515"] The rumor mill has said a scholarship increase could be coming, adding 1 a year for three years up to 15. Longer term, I think the sport is headed to stricter divisions, with the D1A being at a higher scholarship level and D1B being at a lower scholarship level. That way, schools can choose whether to compete and the playing field will be more fair for everyone involved. The NCAA and member schools would ultimately say that the 11.7 is about funding a sport that losses money... Back in the day, with a higher scholarship level, bigger schools could afford to fund a full scholarship roster while smaller schools couldn't, thus the cap, but Title IX is obviously a component today. At the end of the day, I think a majority of the schools are going to agree that divisions makes sense, let the big schools run baseball like the third major sport that it is, and smaller schools can compete with like-institutions at a more affordable level.
