It is my understanding baseball players do not receive full rides. So you need parents or benefactor that is willing to pay most of the tuition, room and board, books, etch. Parents like Biggio. It is much cheaper to attend a State school and I am sure they manage to find money for baseball players. I believe LSU & the SEC is very good (gray area creative) at finding stipends for their baseball players and I imagine UL does the same. Also, don't underestimate the value of Pell grants at State schools. This would apply to any sport that gives only partial scholarships, for example softball.
