A serious baseball question

I hope people with more knowledge about the workings of the baseball program can educate me about some things I have little knowledge about.
I keep hearing people talk about Clemson having a competitive disadvantage in baseball when it comes to resources & financial help. I truly have no idea if that it is true or just speculation. That’s one reason I am asking . But, say it is true. How do you explain the success that Coastal Carolina keeps having in baseball? There’s no way I believe that Coastal could have the resources & money that Clemson has to put in the baseball program. Yet, Coastal in a lot of ways has currently a better program than Clemson. How is that? This years Coastal team is I believe more talented than the one they had when they won it all. Now, I am not saying they are going to win it all, lots of talented teams, but they are going to be a tough out for anyone.
Just tying to find some answers to things quite frankly I just don’t know. Is Clemson at a competitive disadvantage to a lot of the better programs & how do they address those? How do you explain for example Coastal success? Appreciate those who have more insight two these questions than I do.

It was so a few years ago before NIL due to other schools endowments. It is not so now. The field is about to change again when all players will get full scholarships. Clemson baseball will be fine from a recruiting standpoint. Bakich will evaluate now that the season is over, and he knows who is staying or leaving.

Even though the NCAA has expanded the scholarships to a max of 34 (opposed to 11.7 now) next season, not all schools can afford to pay that many. Clemson will but was told Ga Tech is only offering 15. Going to be interesting seeing how we do. And as bad as the last 2 games were, I had some fun times at Beautiful Tiger Field this season.

If ACC schools only offer 15 schollies because monetary reasons and Clemson offers all 34 roster schollies then all sports better thank Dabo all day long!

That seems weird. Georgia Tech can’t afford more than that? In the sport they’re arguably most competitive? Not saying I don’t believe it, it’s just an interesting move.

I think it's just a made up excuse really. Baseball is truly the level playing field of sports. There are so many smaller schools with so much less resources still making runs in the post season. I don't think baseball runs itself like football, where money and resources guarantees more success than smaller schools. Sure you can have a top coach and some of the best talent, it helps tremendously but come post season time, the smaller schools can just as easily still beat you. Not so much the case in football where top coaches and talent destroy non Power 4 teams regularly with the very few outliers.

CCU is better than their title team this season?
When you have an outlier pitcher like Andrew Beckwith, or a Michael Roth, who carried the game chicks to back to back titles, that’s the difference. Then have role players in the pen and serviceable starters, and you’ve got a shot to win every series.
Put a Beckwith or Roth on this club and we’d be favorites to win it all.

Yes I believe this Coastal team is better than their title team. The reason is their pitching is so much more deeper than that title team . That title team relied basically on 2 pitchers. This Coastal team has a much deeper pitching staff. Coastal is a team that in the past relied manly on just out scoring the other team to win. This Coastal team can pitch. Their team ERA was 4th in the country.
