EAll true and funny........except for the fact it's no additional money because the overhead costs of everything related to that football scholarship are already paid for. The classes/teachers are already included. The dorms are already paid for. The doctors and trainers on staff don't change, nor the team meals and nutrition plans. The same size planes and buses are chartered. Uniforms and clothes are supplied by Adidas and not the schools. Helmets/pads are already in house.
Books though - THAT'S where you'll get those savings. $500 in books x 15 kids = $7500. Well that is unless the team awards scholarships to walk-ons since they have so many extra.....which they will so less savings.
$7500? That's it??
So would we still have enough additional funding to hire, lets say, 2 - 3 unattractive, overweight, young female interns with purple hair? We need these resources if we're ever going to achieve true gender equality.
