F Hat athletics
- a) # 1 sport publically is baseball... give our baseball time unlimited support and see where we are. But we start with men's hoops, then go baseball/wvb and move on from there
thus our baseball team has been playing with a shorter budget ... scholarship budget ... but I am told this part is being addressed.
However, no matter what happens under # a, then you have to deal with the following:
- b) even if our athletic dept opted to break the bank for baseball rather than hoops and other sports, the NCAA calculation for allowable scholarship budget is smaller at LB. They use an index that factors in the cost of living on campus housing. LB campus housing has been so cheap that it has held back the NCAA index.
So CSF can give up to $400 per kid per month more.... multiple that x 11.7 and CSF has had $50K per year money scholarship money to spread around the roster in recruiting. That is a huge advantage.

: I think we all know the Commissioner's Cup

: not only that... same budget, same csu

: You guys are a flea on the ass of LBS.

: Well, Fullerton is a one-trick pony school

:
: And how many All-Americans did the Dirtbags

:
: Same school system (CSU). Same budget
