The myth of the scholarship: A sliver of pie

Kevin Kray, with his parents, Dana and Ann, hoped to get a full-ride scholarship to play baseball at the University of Minnesota. But the former Osseo High School pitching star was surprised to find out the Gophers baseball program has only 11.7 scholarships available, which it splits up amoung up to 35 players.

Most scholarship athletes don't get full rides to college. In fact, many of them get just enough to cover their books and fees.
