According to the Clarion-Ledger in Mississippi, Polk sat down and wrote the letter in one day. Here's a copy of the letter housed at Scout.com, and sent the letter railing against recent rule changes in college baseball to a group of 1,421 people ranging from university presidents to Major League Baseball general managers.

Mainly, Polk points at some of the new rules going into place in the NCAA the next few years as serious problems, especially the APR and scholarship restrictions.

Much like some players have run into already, they may be promised scholarships coming into school, but then thanks to kids returning that the coach didn't plan on, he may not have it anymore with the restrictions set at 27 schollies and another eight walk-ons.

The major part is that the minimum scholarship a player can receive is 25-percent of tuition. Many kids end up with less than that on some teams depending on family situations, and a lot of times, kids are on academic scholarships which free up others for the coaching staff to use.

I have to say, I couldn't make it through the whole thing. A lot of it is good information, so I think everyone should take a skim through it. It's just 18 pages. I haven't read anything more than about eight pages in I don't know how many years.

Once again from the Clarion Ledger, here's the best part:

"Polk said the mailing cost about $2,500 to prepare and send, money which came from the Dugout Club, a private booster club for the MSU baseball program. Postage was the largest cost, with the letter, sent in a white envelope with an MSU logo, costing $1.31 each to send. That's $1,861.51.

Polk wrote the letter in one afternoon, he said. Though he famously eschews computers, the finished product was formatted on one.

Not the address labels, though: He typed all 1,421 of them."

Polk's team made a surprise run to the CWS in 2007, and he's obviously frustrated. But nothing's new there.
