[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 2997644, member: 34435"] There are schools that currently do not fully fund the 11.7. It was estimated that as recently as five years ago it was around 50% of D1 programs. I suspect things have changed as the rules have changed. But there are a significant number of schools that either “wouldn’t” or “couldn’t” move up in funding additional scholarships. If you haven’t noticed, athletic departments are getting crushed by the current environment and sports are being eliminated, not expanded. As for baseball, it’s among the most expensive sports to sponsor and why would anyone view the IRR favorably by adding cost? In 2020, at least 30 sports between January and June were eliminated at schools for the highest number of cancelled programs in a single year in a decade. And that was only 6 months. I figure many more were eliminated in the back half of 2020. The percent attrition of D1 baseball programs since 1990 lags only men’s tennis, wrestling, men’s swimming, and men’s gymnastics. There’s a clue in there if you search for it. Then comes baseball and then men’s soccer. [/QUOTE]
