I also heard from another site discussing D1 soccer scholarships that coaches try to get the players academic money, grants, etc first and then what is left over is athletic scholarship money to make up the difference, instead of the other way around. Apparently this is the way coaches can maximize their athletic scholarships and the reason grades are so important to being recruited to your preferred college choice.
Maybe I don't understand scholarships well enough but if you can get 3 in state players by using 1 scholarship, or 1 player from out of state for that same scholarship, seems to be a no brainer to me what I would do as a coach.
Lastly, I would imagine that private schools like Notre Dame don't have to deal with the whole in state, out of state issue since everyone pays the same tuition before being reduced by scholarships?
