Iowa State Baseball
- Thread starter Cyclonenation2
- Start date
That is what they got last year... But money is defiantly not the high point gotta do what we can do.
I'm not sure, and I don't even know where I could look that up. However, judging on my conversations with some of the NCSU baseball players, I got the impression that they pretty much divide the scholarships up evenly among the team. It might be different for some players that were drafted high, but decided to stick with college in exchange for more scholarship.
That is good info a kid on my team is doing a semester long project on a proposal for baseball back at Iowa State he may need stuff like that in it
baseball would make more money then softball, soccer and gymnastics combinedBaseball thread not complete without:
It would still lose hundreds of thousands a year. It's not coming back anytime soon. That's just reality.
Iowa averages less than 500 people per home game, you are never going to make money with that kind of attendance.
Agree. While unpopular, BVD getting rid of baseball was a good move. I am glad JP did not have to be put in the position to make the same call. There is only so much money JP can collect from our boosters, and that money MUST go to programs that can generate revenue, both now and in the future. As a northern school in a southern conference, that is not baseball. Even if the fundraising were successful enough to get it going, I hope JP would not allow it. It would be like giving a $10million dollar house with a huge mortgage to someone with a $40K/year job.

The SEZ was a long ways off as recently as a year ago. Just sayin'. Obviously baseball is a long way off. Some of us would love to have a baseball program back. Theres no harm in talking about it. So thanks, buzzkillers, for always getting involved in these threads. Sorry you sucked in little league and hate baseball because of it.
Sorry you sucked in Pop Warner and rec league basketball and hate those sports because of it.
See how silly that sounds? It is not about hating baseball. I am sorry your position on this issue is so weak that realism crushes your dreams, but take solace in knowing the ISU can better compete in other sports because your hardship.
I also played at CT back in the day. The field was beautiful. The stadium itself was pretty blah but you could go watch college baseball for free. Pretty sure the last team ISU fielded had 5-6 guys transfer onto solid D-1 programs.
The discussion about Midwestern college teams is an interesting one. Nebraska has made the college world series a few times. So has Wichita State. Creighton seems to not do so bad considering they use a new 24,000 seat stadium. I realize the College World Series plays there too but it says something about the state of the program if they play there as well.

LOLOLOL so please fill me in as to which programs ISU is better in as a result of not having baseball?
My freshman year roommate was recruited the season before the ended Baseball. Got a full ride for four years and never played a game for ISU.
Don't forget that Pollard came here from Madison, where Wisky also does not offer baseball. So he thinks it's no big deal. His successor, whoever that is, might take a different view.
