bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 No way, shape, or form should he get help over anyone else financially or educationally for playing basketball. He has just taken away a scholarship from someone who is trying to get into college who couldn't afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 No way, shape, or form should he get help over anyone else financially or educationally for playing basketball. He has just taken away a scholarship from someone who is trying to get into college who couldn't afford it. If they want to call it an honarary scholarship so that he is recognized as a scholarship player, then fine. Why didn't the coaches look at that and say.....we could use that on a recruit that needs it. I know it's an honor to make it as a scholly player, but come on.

littlraskul 10 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 wait, so now we're going to also take a person's family's financial situation into consideration when offering athletic scholarships? i can see that one now: coach: well son, we'd love to have you come play ball at (insert college here), but since your parents make $x, you'll have to walk on so we can save the college a few bucks. nevermind that your athletic talent (should you and our team prove to be successful) could bring help bring in millions for our university and its athletic program. fact is, son, your folks are well off and we want to save scholarships for poor folks. are you serious? come on, now.

I idolized MJ growing up. I would love to see him continue playing somehow even impossible. I was just saying that if he earned it, call it a scholly or whatever, but couldn't they use that for someone who needed like a walkon who is working equally as hard or something.

That's ture! If MJ wanted to throw money around for him to play ball then his son would be down in Chapel Hill playing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
