Partial scholarships make it tougher for schools with higher tuition. And they are just a stupid idea anyway. Give baseball 18-20 full scholarships. Cut back a few football scholarships if needed.

And recruit a couple 2 sport players like we always used to have.

Children destined for athletic greatness specialize while very young. Two-sport athletes are increasingly rare.

High school and college coaches are increasingly saying publicly that specializing is the absolute worst thing a kid can do when it comes to success at the college level. I know here in the Lake Travis District, they force all kids to play multiple sports beginning in middle school if they want to participate in athletics at the high school level.

Even so the vast majority will be focused on one sport by the time they're playing varsity.
