Do they offer the same amount of scholarships as us? I would imagine that's a big difference.

I always assumed the scholarship situation was regulated by what the NCAA allowed. Obviously all of that is pretty much out the window with NIL now. If that's the case then we just need an alumni that cares fucktons about baseball. BSAC?

11.7 baseball scholarships is the maximum for all schools - that's why big population states have such a huge advantage. They can offer partial scholarships with in-state tuition to high caliber players knowing that out-of-state schools will have to allocate a much larger percentage of a scholarship to make up the difference for out of state students.

There is talk of all NCAA sports becoming fully funded in the "new" NCAA athletics world, which would mean 25-30 scholarships for baseball, more for golf (currently 4.5), more for track/CC (currently 12.6 for men, 18 for women), more for tennis (currently 4.5), etc. Who the hell knows with rowing (currently 20 scholarships - typically each is awarded in 1/2 increments - we have about 40 athletes each year).

Yes, it's just about the only way we can be title IX compliant while having the minimum of 14 NCAA sports (with one being football).

the absurdness of attending Kansas State University in Manhattan KS on a rowing scholarship is pretty lol

You could easily make that same argument for more than half of the 80+ NCAA D1 programs that have rowing. Aside from the east/west coast schools (and a few other exceptions), the majority of schools that have rowing choose to do so because it's huge boost to title IX compliance due to roster sizes. And, in addition to that, it's a relatively cheap sport too largely because of minimal travel.

what if our rowers, who I love, won it all. wow.

Just for giggles I pulled up our rowing roster. Just to double check since I know all of them as i'm a huge rowing fan, but its a hoot to see all of them being from the midwest and the first is from SD. As a huge fan, I already know this, but she is the best because she is from Watertown, SD. Rowing is huge in a place called Watertown.

SEMO all the way back from an 8 run hole. Tied up in the 5th.

A lot of nervous OMAHAWGS t shirts and PIGS hats in the stands.

Double elimination throughout the whole thing. Probably my second favorite form of a tournament, especially in the sense of a Double Elimination Regional, Best of 3 Super Regional, Double Elimination CWS, to Best of 3 Championship.

Holy cow, that was a bomb. Ball got lost in the dark it was so high. Left the stadium or bounced off the roof on the way out.

Probably won't matter because we'll get smoked tomorrow if we win, but Boerma being unable to throw strikes with a 9-1 lead (6 walks, 1 hbp in 4.1 innings) is pretty disappointing.
