No, Lance, Jagr is INCORRECT, because (as per usual) he has changed the subject from THE AWARDING OF SCHOLARSHIPS to the mere admissions process. I have NEVER said that "transcripts and admissions questions" are not answered earlier. In fact, in another post I actually acknowledged that. But...

You haven't made any progress since second grade. There is no such thing as "coming through". It doesn't matter if a baseball player's "dream school" is Miami and it is his desperate desire to attend UM. Admissions doesn't admit until senior year of HS, and merit-based scholarships are not...

So you are confusing "timeline" and "job responsibility". Keep up the buffoonery. "Admissions" and "Scholarships" are still two different things. Handled by two different sets of people at UM. There is a zero-point-zero probability that you will admit that you are wrong. But you are...

Again, you are a buffoon. "Admissions" and "Scholarships" are two different things. Nobody is talking about "knowing that their recruits can get into school". Oh, except you, who misses the point, AS ALWAYS. "On the radar of the admissions office 2+ years ago". Yeah, why don't you spit some...

My boy Keith knows how to analyze catchers.

For the record, one of my best friends (pre-college) is the head "Analytics" guy for the Indians. I'll have to ask him about Amditis. When he was still a computer guy, and before he took the Cleveland job, he used to write for the Baseball Prospectus. Wrote a whole article on the correlation...

"Admissions" is not the same as "Scholarships". Keep buffooning, though.

You are a buffoon. "Earliest application deadline" and "when scholarships are decided and/or given out" are two different time periods. You, quite literally, know nothing. If you honestly believe that UM doesn't start giving out academic scholarships until November or December, then you are...

One last point. If you need (roughly) a million-dollar donation to fund a $50K per year scholarship (assuming 5% return), then that means we need to get 8,000 donors to donate $1 million each. Several scholarships are already endowed, but I would imagine it's not 1,000 endowed full-tuition...

Absolutely correct. What Vandy, Stanford, and Rice have in common is that they are 100-plus-year private schools in major metropolitan areas, and rich people have been donating money to those schools for over a century. They have ENDOWMENTS that kick Miami's collective **** (though Miami has...

If you've seen a gaping video, you've seen Jagr. He only cares about his own opinion, there is no "sitting down with him and finding out what he is all about". You could propose 10 great ideas for discussion, and he will arrogantly tell you that you know nothing about [insert topic here] while...

Typical know-nothing post. A lot of the challenge is based on TIMING. Even if a baseball player qualifies for academic-merit scholarship consideration, the decision on a particular school is not made as early in the school year as it is for students who apply based solely on academics, thus by...

Vandy's tuition-assistance is based more on having a huge endowment fund that pays for scholarships for all students. UM's scholarship money pool is not quite as large. I know that one knucklehead on this board is going to criticize my postings (even if I copied and pasted something that he...

That's why I was hoping the Cardinals would take him, excellent development of pitchers.

OK, sorry about that, I wasn't sure how many people knew that rule. I was an undergrad when Alex Fernandez transferred out of UM to Miami-Dade so that he could be drafted as a sophomore.

If you turn 21 before the draft, you can go as a soph.
