It was in answer to someone saying he didnt want handouts from his dad. I have no problem with him having those things. I was just proving a point that if Diddys son didnt want his dads help he would have got a job and saved to buy his jewelry and a Civic.

Yet when he himself earns a scholarship it's a big deal. Pffft.

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.

Why are people so generous with other people's money?

Those diamond earrings say otherwise. I bet he at least drives a Sean John version Navigator oe whatever SUV Puffy is with.

How is that anyone's business but his? I miss the days when getting ahead and being successful was a good thing.

Turning down a scholly to get another good player on the team is the only even semi plausible reason as to why he would do that.

Which is what I was saying he should have done if he really cared about the team but at this point it's probably more of a pride thing that would keep him from doing so like so many kids from extremely wealthy families do.

Do you think a "kid from an extremely wealthy family" should turn down an appointment to Westpoint, Annapolis, or the Air Force Academy?

After all, those slots are extremely limited and there are other ways that those rich kids can both have their education paid for (daddy's money) and join the military.

The kid earned the scholarship; he should be proud and if he wants to accept it he has every right to accept it and not feel ashamed for accepting something he has earned.

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.

So you obviously had an issue with tobias Harris being on scholarship?

Getting into an academy is not even remotely comparable to a kid who may have gotten preferential treatment because his daddy pulled a few strings. The kid is a sun belt talent at best.

Can you name "a lot" of examples, because I don't remember there being many?

For all of you saying he should give up the scholly for another person and walk on, it wouldn't matter if he walked on or not depending on how he is recruited. Here is an article from Scout.com about how walk ons can still be counted against the scholarship limit.

“But if we initiate phone calls and go for home visits--those type things--with that guy and he walks on at our program and later he becomes a player and plays in a game, then he must be counted torward scholarship limits. That's the rule."

No focus on my second sentence. That's what I think is what's important here.

Then why make the first statement about how much money Puff has compared to Tobia's father?

You're judging the kids talent on his offer sheet. So does that mean the OT Kendrick who just comitted to us who only had offers from Arkansas State and UT isn't SEC talent?
