Don’t know how much about it now but when my son was looking for a “team” about 8 years ago..we were “amazed” by the offers some other players were offered, much lower ranked and not as active players, I don’t believe they were scholarships involved but just getting into certain schools and being “on” a team. Sounds familiar..huh? Oh yeah, some of these kids flew on private planes with private coaches to tourneys quite frequently. Am I bitter, no because my son did end up at a lower level D1, with a good scholarship and a great education..and is doing great in the business world..but let’s not be fooled..money talks and always will. <br />If it smells like a fish....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-31856462148548526572021-02-22T00:45:36.424-05:002021-02-22T00:45:36.424-05:00The Salon article didn't say Wake Forest broke...The Salon article didn't say Wake Forest broke rules, they simply laid out the story and readers can form their own opinions about whether it was appropriate. It really just points out the comical nature of the NCAA. College football players from very poor areas have been suspended for getting a $20 tattoo which was deemed an illegal gift.<br /><br />But connected people can use their private planes to fly the team and that is totally within NCAA rules.

But one has to wonder how do private schools truly compete in the era of 4.5 scholarships. Since the cost per student of having 8 players on a team is so completely different from public to private schools. This difference is even more pronounced when you compare the cost per student between a private school women’s team with 8 vs the guys with 4.5.Guestnoreply@blogger.com
