Why should that matter? I am sure Jerritt isn't interested in a Women's Softball program either. But that doesn't stop Texas from having one. Very rare for an AD to start a beach program without input and consent from the indoor coach (the only program I can think that went that route is Oregon - Jim Moore was surprised to learn he was going to oversee a beach team), since most programs intend on using indoor players and also want the indoor coach to be in charge (even if in name only) of the beach team. And a guy like Jerritt, who has a lot of pull in the Texas athletic department? It's going to be his call. If if happens, how long would it take Texas to become a contender like they are already in the indoor game?

If if happens, how long would it take Texas to become a contender like they are already in the indoor game? Interesting question. There's a solid (and growing) beach VB junior scene in Texas, including some seriously talented kids. You can also recruit West Coast kids to Austin, not to mention international players. But it would depend on how much financial resources the school would be willing to commit and perhaps most importantly who would run the program. If Texas half-asses it by assigning an indoor coach to double up running the beach team, meh. But if they go all in and hire someone like Ali Lamberson (USC) or Marcio (Pepp), they could be competing for national championships in 3-4 years. IMO.

I think the thing a lot of parents and prospects don't do the math on is 6 scholarships are the max available so that works out to be 1.5 per class year. If a school recruits 6 players in a class year, that's divided very thin (1/4 scholarship using simple math). If you have a player that does warrant a full scholarship, that only leaves a half scholarship for the other 5 (1/10th of a scholarship using simple math. (Now I realize that scholarships may be distributed less evenly than what I am depicting but the more upperclassmen receiving scholarship money, the less available for incoming freshman.) My main point is there is not a plethora of athletic scholarship money to go around. Then, as the many posts, above, talk about, if they are not fully funded, there are less athletic scholarships to divide up.
Hence the reason it is so important to focus on good grades and test scores to get academic money.

I'm told at our local college beach program, yes, they will only give out 1/2 rides, but they use academic grants to make up for most of the rest, unless you just have poor grades, then they can't do much.
So how many recruits get full rides? I'd love to know. I'm wishing twenty girls at least per year.
