Since Rinke is a non-scholarship athlete, I don't see why he would not be given access to academic funds normally allowed the regular student population (provided you have the grades - which he does given the West Point offer).

Another angle is this for instate versus out of state tuition, but probably does not apply in his case - if a student in GA wants to attend UT and major in Analytics they get to pay instate tuition rates as the UGA system does not offer that major.

Rinke is from a military family which probably means that he’s using his parents Montgomery GI Bill that pays for everything and also sends a monthly housing check around $1,200. He can also qualify for other academic grants as well so he will be just as well off or even more so than full rides.

Home of Record could also play into this. IOW he could live in GA but his parents could have a HOR of Tennessee....Not sure about Montgomery GI Bill. Grants will be available to him also.
