Vanderbilt baseball has given the sporting world many great things.
Hawkins Field has been the backdrop for the rise of Tim Corbin, one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history. It’s been the layover between high school and a trip to Major League Baseball for All-Stars like David Price, Walker Buehler, Bryan Reynolds, and Sonny Gray. It’s responsible for two of the university’s five national championships — as many as the school’s powerhouse women’s bowling program.
With that jump in profile has come a backlash. That’s come, in part, thanks to the Opportunity Vanderbilt financial aid program that dares make the SEC’s most expensive school only slightly more pricy than the University of South Carolina via scholarship.
