I had NO idea this was going on! Thanks for the clarification, form. I stand corrected.

: 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.

: Then go back and read

: Maybe I missed the conversation, but I'm
: curious how the budget issues are completely
: different. I'm not trying to raise your
: dander, it's a serious question.
:
: And ralph, speaking of raising someone's
: dander, why do you immediately assume that
: I'm backing Fullerton? There's no need to
: resort to name calling. I'm a Long Beach
: State alum with many concerns about the
: CURRENT status of the DIRTBAG program.
: Claiming Major-Leaguers when discussing the
: prestige of your program is fine; but I'm
: interested in the CURRENT success of the
: Long Beach State baseball team, not what a
: small number of former players are doing
: AFTER they left school.
:
: I think we all know the Commissioner's Cup
: is a load of hoo-ey. Like Fullerton, Long
: Beach is known nationally for it's baseball
: program. And the folks in the Athletics
: Department are gouging their season-ticket
: holders as if it's still a top-notch
: program. But I can't say I heard much about
: the Dirtbags from the national media at all
: this season.

: Uh, budget issues are completely different.
:
: --Previous Message--
: not only that... same budget, same csu
: system
: two very different programs. Yeah, why
: doesn't your program produce high profile
: and as many major leaguers as ours? We get
: more national publicity than you do if you
: were to win the national championship every
: year. How does it feel to duke it out for
: the cellar of the commish cup with Cal
: Riverside every year?
:
: You guys are a flea on the ass of LBS.

: Well, Fullerton is a one-trick pony school
: that probably puts all its eggs into one
: basket. We're trying to stretch our
: resources into multiple sports. This becomes
: quite obvious when you look at where the two
: schools are ranked in the Commish Cup
: standings.

: This was seen in today's Orange County
: Register: "The 2009 Cal State Fullerton
: baseball team tied a school record by
: producing seven individuals earning
: All-American honors at season's end."
:
: And how many All-Americans did the Dirtbags
: have this season?
:
: Same school system (CSU). Same budget
: issues. Two VERY different baseball
: programs...
