Compare this situation to schools like Stanford, thanks to their lower undergraduate enrollment are able to give more aid to their students since it is fewer students to deal with compared to USC's large undergraduate class. It doesn't help that Stanford guarantees free tuition for families making $125k or less.

I believe Rice also has very good financial aid...not sure about Vanderbilt or Miami. But the List Price of tuition means nothing. What counts is what the kids actually have to pay + the other associated costs of housing and food etc... I don't think we are losing recruits to any of the schools listed. We lose them to Irvine and other schools like that.

Some say it's missing out on talent, but look at how many SC players are playing in the majors. Look at how many were drafted last year. Perhaps having 12 new players had something to do with the results this season and a key pitcher never played meaningful minutes. If we don't make a change this year, given the excuses, do we do so next year? Is Swann the man to make a great change if and when that change comes?
