It is absolutely a privilege to receive a free ride to an academic institution based upon sports. Every college student would love to get a free ride vs. being saddled w/ endless debt from tuition, r u kidding me? Lol
A lot of young men, in particular, don’t see the true value of what a scholarship means. ****, many fans of these programs don’t even see the value, which is why ppl r saying players need to be paid like employees. A scholarship has been diminished both academically & monetarily, & many kids trick off that free ride by doing a lot of dumb chit.
I’m being very complimentary of a guy who came in as a blue chip recruit, haven’t received the playing time he was probably promised during his recruitment; yet, he’s kept his head down, been nothing but a model teammate not complaining, not threatening to leave, and used this opportunity to further his education b/c at the end of the day, he’s a student. I applaud young men who realize opportunities arise more than just sports when u enter into an academic institution.
