Ohio – simply put, the COA bump increases the number of dollars in the baseball team’s scholarship pizza pie. The coach can cut that pie up into however many or few slices he wants to. So long as he does not exceed one pizza pie. With the extra money, he can perhaps squeeze in another few slices as compared to previous.
But the incremental dollars involved are trivial. A fully funded baseball team gets 12 schollies to split amongst 35 guys.
