NCAA and Major League Baseball Discussing 'Partnership'

Major League Baseball and the National Collegiate Athletic Association are in the early stages of discussion of a potential partnership in which the professional league could fund scholarships and otherwise support the sport at the collegiate level, the Associated Press and CBSsports.com reported. The AP quoted Walt Harrison, president of the University of Hartford and a leader in NCAA governance, said he was "cautious" about whether the partnership would come about, but that he could envision similar arrangements occurring in golf and other sports.
