@ndioli74 And no different than respecting amd honoring pride in other cultures...like black history month, or irish american day, or jewish american history, etc..what twists ya is the gay of it all.
@CoachBeede Just something to consider in the equation, I'm not questioning those numbers. Holy Cross is the same now. BUT when it comes to any fed aid now, Do we need to consider "fed" are not giving aid to a full list of degrees not listed as "professional"? Or is that only for post grad?
Division I does not mean scholarship money. Patriot League baseball — Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette, Holy Cross, Colgate, Loyola — runs on need-based and merit aid, not athletic scholarships, much like the Ivy. Holy Cross won the league this spring and reached the NCAA tournament on that model. Learn how a program funds before you fall in love with it.
@anthony_ranaudo@theoxycleanman Then u don t understand an athlete at that levels mindset..the vast majority are self motivated to be the best they can be, its not football with the wear and tear on the body to worry about either.
IF the school is fully funded. Over 80 percent are not 2. reason it effects Black players more is because as a cntry rt now that community is VASTLY underserved academically, economically,socially. The road is much harder to take. And finally C. School is simply not for everyone.
Another issue..this will meaningfully effect minority players in our country.. for those that say great, go get a full ride and a free education : A.the "full ride" is a myth in Baseball..11.7 scholarships per program divided however the school wants between the 36 man roster➡️
Cont...now real talent is easily over looked in other conferences, so u go to 12 rounds and you really screw the mid majors on down. Elitest mindset for sure, limiting opportunities left and rt.
My thoughts on the latest mlb owners proposal:
A. I think this is a way to pit the wants of the mlb players with the needs of the Milb players against each other. The number one issue for mlb players has been the salary cap issue at the mlb level..why are the owners talking abt,
Cont..Milb issues rt now? cause they want to leverage/distract from the real issue. And also, mlb wants the NFL model where college becomes the "farm" system to the mlb. Sad! And Finally, when it comes to the draft the vast majority come from the p 4 schools only, as it stands
@TheNoto24 Hi coach, my view as a parent of a player that went thru this 2x..another huge issue is several coaches in these leagues have forgotten their purpose. Prioritizing a🏆over reps and dev.. Why should guys go away an entire summer to sit 4 out of 6 gms, no $, no reps, no gym, nuthin
