Congratulations to all our players that have achieved their dreams of playing baseball at the collegiate level!
December 18, 2024: By court ruling through an injuction. JUCO athletes that play college sports will retain all 4 years of NCAA eligibility, regardless if they played 1-2 years of JUCO sports. This ruling if it sticks will have many ramifications on 4 year school recuiting, which would ultimately impact the high school player. There are many working parts that still need to be worked out and ultimately the courts will determine if the rules sticks and what all the working components will be STAY TUNED!!

The much talked about changes regarding college sports and in particular college baseball are now upon us. From the transfer portal, to the new roster sizes and maximum number of allowed scholarships at the D1 level, college baseball at all levels has changed in many different ways.
When changes are made within any industry's highest level, there will always be a trickle down effect. College baseball is no different. The impact of all these changes over the last few years has dramatically changed how recruiting is approached. Players and families, now more than ever, need to be properly informed and educated about how to navigate this new era in college baseball.
The NCAA Division 1 Council eliminated the National Letter of Intent program for high school student-athletes on Wednesday October 9th, 2024. The changes will go into effect beginning with the 2025 recruiting class.
So what does this mean? Individul schools and student-athletes will now sign financial aid and scholarship agreements. The process essentially, has removed an outdated program, and now become more streamlined. It has now basically become more of a contract between the institutions and the players.
In July 2024 the NCAA has approved changes that drastically change the current college baseball scholarship model. Division 1 schools are now permitted to full scholarship up to 34 players. In doing so, the NCAA has now set a roster restriction size limit to 34 players. Thus allowing for the entire roster of 34 players to be on a full scholarship. Schools are not required to provide full scholarships to all 34 rostered players, as this is an individual school decision. It is widely believed that the major P4 Conferences and their member institutions will all offer the maximum of 34 full scholarships. This does come at a price of an overall roster reduction size of 6 less players. Amongst just the P4 Conference baseball playing schools that is approximately 336 less rostered players. That is not including all the other D1 programs and their roster reductions as well. These players will ultimately trickle down to the mid major D1 programs, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO. Playing college baseball at any level just became harder as there are now fewer playing opportunities with these overall roster reductions at the D1 level. These changes will begin with 2025-2026 academic year.
While there is a lot of current speculation about what the complete fallout will be from these sweeping and drastic changes at the D1 level, nobody really knows with absolute certainty what they all will be. Players and families need to be properly informed and educated as the college baseball landscape is more fluid than ever.
