His daddy should pay for his schooling imo.

Athletics scholarships aren't need based. End of story

The kid got offers from UVA and Illinois, in addition to UCLA.

Given his offers, he made the right choice. :thumbsup:

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

He could still get preferred walkon status.

You think there aren't rich kids all over America on full academic scholarships?

Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Taurean Green should have had their famous NBA fathers pay for their school at UF, so that some 2* shooting guard from Micanopy with poor parents and no game whatsoever could get a free ride.

Yea I would think so.. Who wouldn't pick LA over Charlottesville or Champaign.

He earned it and deserves it. Not like his daddy cant make a generous donation much larger than what the scholly would be worth.

I would think a ton or two.

The only way to get to Champaign-Urbana is by stagecoach.

I bet you were pissed back in '94 when you discovered Archie wasn't paying for Peyton's college education.

Ditto for Anthony Munoz....

Dumb.

 

[Spartacavolus]

if he earned it, he should take it

if P Diddy bought his way in, he is basically paying his way.

Besides, lots of scholarship athletes hardly ever play and we don't talk about revoking them.

I felt Fulmer should have paid for his daughters at UT even. Yes imo those type and rich folks should pay for kids athletic schollys. And come on Lawrence you know Florida isnt going to have to offer some below average player.

I feel their parents should have paid. Yes.

I feel their parents should have paid. Yes.

Why?

If the kid earned said scholarship then why should his parents pay? Because they can afford it?

 

[BearCat204]

He could still get preferred walkon status.

Why? So he can just hand over something that he earned on his own merits and ride on his daddy's back? The kid earned it and expecting to do anything other than claim his reward for hard work would be wrong imo.

 

[BearCat204]

I feel their parents should have paid. Yes.

Why? Did he not earn it?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

I feel their parents should have paid. Yes.

Let's penalize elite athletes based on their parents' wealth!!!

That'll teach those hard working, athletic kids of successful people!!

Duke should have made Grant Hill pay his own way, right buddy?
