[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the PP who posted about the Naval Academy and Coastal Carolina, I genuinely feel sad for you and the venom you are holding for someone who appears to not be directly relevant to your life - and no words for the fact that you extend this bitterness to the child.

Try to do better - it will lighten your load.[/quote]

Yeah, that was some insanity. Glad it was deleted but good insight into the minds of the anti-athlete posters. [/quote]

I actually enjoyed it and know several people who are the same. I can't tell you the number of colleagues, neighbors, fellow parishnors that have so embellished their children's potential that its hard to not laugh in their face when they are popping off about it.[/quote]

You enjoying overt racism and classism says a lot more about you than anything else.

But I think you are like a lot of the racist anti-athlete posters here. [/quote]

You don't have any grasp on the discussion here.

I'm firmly in the camp that travel sports are worthwhile, regardless of their utility for college acceptance. If the kids likes it, that's enough. I'm also firmly in the camp that there is no such thing as a full ride for sports to a D3 school. Because I know there isn't. Google it. The first return states :

[i]D3 schools cannot offer full-ride athletic scholarships like their D1 and D2 counterparts. This is because NCAA rules prohibit Division III schools from offering any type of athletic scholarship or financial aid based on a student’s athletic ability[/i]

Oh my God. Are you kidding me? You have no idea what you are talking about.

Nobody here is claiming the D3 schools offer athletic scholarships that work like D1 or D2 schools. What they are saying is that recruited athletes, particularly the top recruits, get extremely generous merit aid packages.

Is this seriously the issue here? You don’t understand how D3 recruiting works? You think it’s like D1 or D2?

But then again, you are the racist who liked the other extremely racist post about PG county that got deleted so I’m guessing your understanding of literally everything is weak. [/quote]

Thank you for proving that you have zero grasp on the discussion here. Just as I stated.

If you actually read the entire thread, you'd see that there are multiple, different, people claiming to have known of or received themselves, full rides for athletic ability to D3 schools.

This is wholly distinct and separate from the aid handed out, like candy, to everyone, at these schools. No one is saying a kid who can play decent baseball won't be given 10K a year in aid, because he might. Won't he won't get is a full ride directly tied to athletics.

They can't 'wink wink' give the center fielder enough 'aid' that it is tantamount to a full ride.  Aid can't be given under the pretense of needs-based or academically-warranted aid if it won't withstand scrutiny. There are audits and they (the school) will lose their eligibility if they are caught doing this. They look for this. The schools that play each other look for this so they can disqualify talented opposition.

Washington and Lee, for instance isn't going to piss away its baseball program for 5 years just so Brayden from Langley can pitch for them, you moron.

Can your feeble brain understand this or are you going to mumble back with 'but, but, but, they can give aid!!!!'?[/quote]

I’m convinced there are three cohorts of people trafficking this dis-information about “wink, wink” athletic full rides to D3s:

— pathological lying deluded parents living through their dime a dozen athletic talent kids
— pathological lying grifters in the travel sports apparatus 
— pathological lying employees of podunk low and unranked D3 colleges

You nailed it why this does not exist: It is illegal and in violation of NCAA bylaws and would be sniffed out by audits immediately. Nobody at these podunk colleges gives a damn about sports success enough to risk everything to get your idiot kid to play for them. The mediocre sports teams are literally a participation trophy to get these gullible parents to send their indulgent kid to a laughing stock college they’d never consider. Parents want to save face with their kid ending up at a dumpy college, so they lie they’re there on a full ride scholarship.[/quote]
