Equally distributing them would be negligent

Techdady • 12/07/24 05:53 PM ET
They are also good teams that merit extra scholarships**

Most sports saw increases in scholarships…

Increasing softball, WT&F, and Swimming would be the best use of any extra

I'm guessing 2-4 new scholarships for Softball 'bluebloods' prob get 10-12.**
