It should also be noted that some players who sign baseball contracts coming out of high school often have stipulations in those contracts saying that the major league baseball team will pay for a college education down the road if the player doesn't make the majors by an agreed upon date. (I'm betting offers like this are only used for those players weighing professional baseball vs. a football scholarship.) I don't know if his applies to high-profile guys like Brandon Weeden, but I'm pretty sure it applies to Jordan Pratt. I asked David Shaw if he felt Pratt might ever earn himself a scholarship, and he told me that he never will because he'll never need one.
