That's the women's softball team -- and it will probably go up after sweeping Florida.   Wink

Over the years people have mentioned that it is hard for the baseball team to compete because of the number of scholarships.  Apparently lottery states have a big advantage since a lot of their kids don't need a full scholarship, which allows their baseball team to make the limited number of scholarships go further by dividing them up.

A thought just occurred to me.  Why doesn't the softball team have this problem?  Unless the scholarship situation is much different for softball, this excuse is no longer acceptable.

I'm not sure how valid the excuse is, but I think it's ridiculous that the NCAA doesn't raise the limit.  11.7 scholarships for a sport that starts 9 players and commonly plays 12-15 players per game.  Hockey is allowed 18 scholarships!

Looks like softball is allowed 12 scholarships.  It is a stupid rule.

Baseball has a 35 man roster with 17 pitchers. They get 11.7 scholarships. Softball has a 20 man roster with 5 pitchers. They have 12 scholarships.

Baseball requires a bigger roster mainly due to pitching. Teams routinely use 9-12 pitchers in a three game series and that does not include the mid-week game. Softball has the re-enter rule. You pinch hit, pinch run or substitute a pitcher/position player and have them re-enter the game.

Lottery money does help but Auburn seems to be doing OK. Gaspard was a good guy but after Wells players left he was a sub-par coach and poor recruiter. Then we made a terrible hire that only lasted one year before he was run off. Coach Bo appears to be a good coach and recruiter. Only time will time but I expect him to get things turned around. The SEC record does not reflect it but the non-conference record does show we are much improved over last year. We have 22 new players on the team this year with most being JUCO players. Bad hires hurt this program. It will take Coach Bo a few years to get it turned around.

Bama needs to field a hockey team with guys who are pretty good at baseball too.   Huh?
