College World Series - scholarships........

[stitch]

he with the most scholarships....wins again. Vandy and Virginia both have unlimited scolarships in baseball......basically 35......and played in NC the last two NC Games. Coincidence, I don't think so Wonder how they would do if they were knocked back to 11.7?

Even LSU fans are quietly mumbling about it being unfair. Serious.

Why do they have unlimited scholarships?

Prolly been discussed but I really don't know. They are both really really good.

[Greenhead22]

Private institutions do not have to report any $$$ spent on athletics and can use money for scholarships in any way they so choose. Plus it probably costs 8-10 times more to attend Vandy a year vs say Miss State, Ole Miss, etc.

thanks to TOPS

[champcaller]

That makes sense, unfortunately. Can't blame them but you can tell on the field.

You have me curious now. Post up the dollar amounts and req'ts for MTAG and TOPS.

[medic11]

MTAG is 500 per academic year for fresh and soph
1,000 per academic year for junior and seniors

[medic11]

TOPS requirement is 2.5 gpa, 20 ACT score I believe is pays around 5800 a year
In state high school graduates only.

[stang67]

So practically the same.

[Greenhead22]

TOPS has four levels, with three—Opportunity, Performance and Honors—primarily applying to students at four-year universities. Those three levels are differentiated by ACT scores of 20, 23 and 27, respectively. They all do, however, cover full tuition, plus a stipend at the top two levels. The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance places the value of an Opportunity award for the past year at LSU at $6,464, while the university estimated total in-state tuition and fees for that year to be $8,758.

I can tell you that a Kid at Ole Miss with a 26 act and 3.9 GPA in high school will not have tuiton covered by Mississippi scholarships.
