[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$3-$5k a year, multiple by 10 years...That is my kid's scholarship money and he can open doors by using the spare time not playing soccer or fortnite to get better grades and scores.

hahaha, Hallmark moment:  "Play for the memories!"[/quote]

Have you looked at the cost of college lately?  $5K/year x 10 = $50K.  That gets you one year, not an education....  Not to say that many kids get full rides, because they don't, especially the boys, but still....

Also, there are stats out there talking about in HS and definitely in college, how the athletes do better overall in school than the non-athletes (and I"m not talking about the crazy genius valedictorian kids -- the solid ones) -- why?  They learn how to manage their time.  Which all that "spare time" doesn't teach them.  They just spend it on social media (or, if we believe PP, vaping.)[/quote]

So you need to so some searches, the public colleges in MD and VA are about 10k annually, not 50k for tuition.  If you are spending and extra 40k for books, room/board (optional), that is on you.[/quote]

Okay, first, everyone isn't going to a public college.  But second, here's the result of the first search I did:

"Residents of Virginia pay an annual total price of $37,386 to attend College of William and Mary on a full time basis. This fee is comprised of $16,370 for tuition, $11,799 room and board, $1,400 for books and supplies and $5,674 for other fees."

Tuition is not the only cost.  Oh right.  And yes, you can pay less and some other VA schools, but you can pay more, too.  Some, like UVA, have additional costs depending on the program you choose, etc.[/quote]
