[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 3014046, member: 70903"] you realize the NCAA just authorized the stacking of merit and need based aid on top of athletic scholarships - something that was not allowed 3 years ago when he looked to leave for Miss St. Many people would be shocked by some of the top players we have had on our team that were actually on academic scholarship only because it was more than we were able to give them athletically - because you had to choose one or the other. Not true anymore. And while that pushed some schools like Vandy over the top to where basically their entire team is on a full-ride - it allowed TCU go close the gap on many State schools if we recruit the right players - guys that are smart enough to get some academic aid for example - which most of our players are coincidentally. Or guys that meet a need based requirement - which is less for TCU but is also less for all schools because youth baseball in expensive anymore. So right now - Schloss and his staff's job in recruiting is easier that it has been since 2010 regarding that even with the tuition level - and you might notice how it has not come up lately as a problem either.....
