On Tuesday, the University of Texas announced that the Board of Regents unanimously approved a $160 million endowment to provide full scholarships starting in fall 2020 for in-state students with a household income of less than $65,000.
Speculation immediately turned to whether the endowment would allow the Texas Longhorns baseball program to provide more financial assistance to players above the 11.7 scholarships allowed by the NCAA, as many private schools do across the country.
Unfortunately, it seems that the endowment won’t change things in that regard for head coach David Pierce.
Before folks think this is a huge deal for @TexasBaseball, sources tell me this will have minimal impact on the baseball program.
