It doesn't bother me that everyone says their kid got a "full ride" because honestly, it's nobodies business and people shouldn't even ask.
My travel ball coach, a very wise man named Larry Mays, always told us not to ever discuss our money with anyone, even the monthly stipend each month. We didn't get it then but it becomes a "status" thing in people's minds when no matter how much you get, you are all one team.
My FR year, one of our teammates told the seniors how much we got (the incoming Fr) and it was only like $25-$75 more a month and we were punished all year because of it...seriously punished to the point of all 5 Fr almost quitting...if she would have not said anything, I imagine the year would have gone a lot better, on and off the field.
The bottom line is the post above. The girls are going to college, a college they want to go to, to get their education, and play some softball. With only 12 fulls, many players split the money but everyone is of equal importance on a team. The money is year to year so you can earn more and if coaches have it, they will try and help everyone out as much as possible.
Always ask what the costs are just in case. Right now, if my daughter would commit to the school I'd like her to go to, I'd pay for her to walk on and earn a spot. I know she's capable and I'd gamble 100% for her to go to her school of choice, where she will be happy. I have had several teammates and friends do the same. They walked on and earned a full. 100% with their hard work and loyalty.
Anything is possible.
