So, a coach like a soccer coach, or a rowing coach can pick up a cool $50 thousand for carrying a student for a month until the student quits and blends into the regular population at an elite school. A couple of questions come to mind. Like, the football coach has a lot more scholarships to sell. Thank goodness they didn't hear about this kind of thing. I mean, a rowing coach or soccer coach could be making a bundle while the football coaches are working for just their regular contracts. Or this question, was this one guy a criminal genius, the one guy in the whole world who had figured out how to do this, or was he doing what others do all the time? I believe he has said the real number of students he has "helped" is in the high hundreds. No one ever knew anything? The soccer players on the team never had a clue that the new girl was clueless? Or is this so common that it is just understood that the teams carry some "money" players? So many questions all of this raises.
Any comments, inside knowledge? Is it right under our noses? Dimel's son was some stud running back at K St. but last year as a grad transfer he appeared in 6 games and rushed the ball 4 times. Off hand, I think you could argue that he took a scholarship from someone else and it is probably father-employment related in the long run, but I think it would be just as easy to argue it wasn't. Would a person from another country gain an advantage in acquiring citizenship based on a paid for athletic scholarship acquired for that purpose rather than to contribute athletically to the team?
