Just a dose of reality that none of these ungrateful hacks on here will acknowledge. If all these numbers are accurate or close to ,Josh should be Big XII COY every time they make the postseason .
Okay, so, I just got a message from a VERY trusted source who provided some numbers here.
Here is what I was told. Now understood, there's a lot of semantics that can be used here, so here are the parameters that I gave the people I've talked to, which are my sources.
The definition of "fully-funded" that I'm using means scholarships given by the school, plus rev share/NIL in totality. So, if the school gives 13 scholarships, which OSU had last year, and a scholarship is worth $60,000, which is what baseball has to pay to fund a scholarship, then, to be "fully-funded," OSU would need roughly $1.2 Million in rev share/NIL to be fully funded.
So, OSU had 13 scholarships and $400,000 in cash, which meant they were close to 3/4 million dollars away from just being fully-funded in terms of scholarships. And, that would be handing out NO NIL to anyone, just a scholarship. This is why the 34 rule has made it SO tough!
So, for next year, these are the numbers I've been given by these sources.
Source 1:
UCF: 34 FULL scholarships, plus it is believed they have a lot of rev share on TOP of that.
Arizona: 24 Scholarships with 150K in rev share/NIL
Utah & BYU: Similar to each other. 15 scholarships and enough rev share to total 18 scholarships. That's right, exactly where OSU is at.
Cincinnati: "Rumored" ALL 34 scholarships
Source 2:
West Virginia: This year, 11.7 plus 1.25 million in rev share/NIL, which is a total of right at $2,000,000. Next year, expanding to 20-25 scholarships with same rev share.
KU: 25 fulls & 500K in Rev Share/NIL
TCU: They "think" 25 fulls & $750,000
Texas Tech: ALL 34 scholarships and MASSIVE rev share.
Source 1 didn't mention OSU, but by the figures they gave as to what all the Big 12 schools are doing, their figures indicated that OSU would be close to, if not at the BOTTOM of the Big 12 in terms of resources allocated.
If you are someone who knows these figures and you think they're wrong, or you would like to add your team's finances to these equations, DM me, and we'll do it however you want it done. Beyond that, there ya' go! #gopokes #okstate
Strong reporting on numbers by @billhaisten on state of #OkState baseball program.
"There are SEC programs with current roster revenue amounting to at least $4 million.
"It is believed that OSU’s 2026 roster revenue was about $400,000."
@davidwschrammel@AR_PokeOG Yes , agree too much swing and miss, but to your point he’s a young hitter with exceptional power , there is going to be swing and miss with that . Played out of position at 2nd all season because of injury to Ortiz
@bigtrent1983@ColdDudeKTA How’d they do this year in regionals ??? Yeah let’s go get that guy , he’s been recruiting for 2 weeks because his season has been over
@davidwschrammel@AR_PokeOG You can’t be serious… kid had biggest ab of the year at KSU turned conference season around with that one swing , last ab in regional down 0-2 fouls off 5 plus pitches then laces 110 mph single to extend inning and drive in run, the lack of knowledge of this fan base is insane
@PPetesStache Consistent opportunity at the highest level of college baseball … sure it’s disappointing no argument there , but I’d rather be relevant every year than a one hit wonder .
@PPetesStache@davidwschrammel Nah you’d rather bitch and moan , we both know it the Pokes were in Omaha last year and not in the dance this year you’d be doing the same thing
@PPetesStache@davidwschrammel In the dance 13 straight times , just this year these teams did not make the tourney
LSU cws 2025
Louisville cws 2025
Arizona cws 2025
Vandy
Clemson and list goes on
No appreciation for how good this program has been under coach Holliday
@405pokefan Nah he doesn’t care about the dipshit “fans” that have no idea what it takes to run a program at this level … 13 straight years to the dance , multiple conf titles and yet he has to listen to some of the most ungrateful people I’ve ever encountered …
Heartbreaker , but man what fight from this team ! Love this team and program . Battled significant injuries all season ,ultimately hurt us with not enough healthy arms to push thru . Team laid it all on the line , left nothing in the tank . #GoPokes
@PPetesStache@davidwschrammel So you’d rather be Cinderella than being at the ball every year, is that the point of this list? Josh has done nothing but win every year , in the dance with a shot to go to Omaha . Appreciate what this man has given to this university, and the consistent level of achievement.
Well, that will work!
Deacon Pomeroy got the party started! 3 homeruns for this freshman class ALONE. Lots of game left, we HAVE to put Alabama in position to feel the pressure WE'VE felt at our HOME Regionals.
4-2...We cut the lead in half! Atta Baby Rook! #gopokes#okstate
