Let's penalize elite athletes based on their parents' wealth!!!
That'll teach those hard working, athletic kids of successful people!!
Penalize them? If my father were as rich as his and I received and athletic scholarship then I would just say keep and and I'll walk on so we can help the team out more by getting an extra scholarship player on the roster.
Yes, PENALIZE them...which is what you're suggesting.
The Combs kid is competing against other student athletes based on their athletic ability and academic standing. The net worth of his father, or the parents of the kids he's competing against is irrelevant.
Actually no it's not penalizing him because I didn't say he should be forced to give it up. But it's selfish not to - if he cares about his team why not give it up so they can get another player in there and have him walk on? Seems like a no brainer to me when your dad makes enough for his college tuition in 1 day of work. It's done a lot by players with wealthy parents because the kids are willing to help the team in any way they can - and usually by players who don't have fathers near as wealthy.
If he cares about his team he will bust his ass on the practice field and in the classroom, and represent UCLA in a positive way. That's all the Combs kid owes anyone.
If his father made a donation to UCLA's athletic department would you feel any different?

So at this point, the kid will only be playing on the team because his dad is Pdiddy..............much rather he be there because he earned it.
The kid put in work to get a scholly like anyone else. Just because his father has money doesn't mean this kid deserves a shot. Should Archie Had payed for Peyton, Eli and Cooper's college? No!! They put in work like anybody else.
Haters gonna hate. SMDH

Thread over. :rock:
But not until DeepSprings explains himself. I can't wait to hear his explanation as to why dad, who allegedly got handouts on his road to fame, should repay "the community" because his son EARNED the right to be awarded an athletic scholarship.

Everyone knows Puffy was thrown a rope to get his hip-hop started. I feel he could do the same by allowing another good player to UCLA. I love his music and seems to be a fairly good guy. I would just like him to say Ill cover the expense for your education. If UCLA declines then cool at least he made the offer. Maybe Puffy did and thats how it happened and was left out of the article.
I think Archie should have. I mean its their choice but if were me Id pay for my kids schooling.
