[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find atlethic Scholorships a complete Scam for most.

I was at a college with 100 percent tuition covered by Financial Aid. I was approached to be on Lacross team with a "scholorship"

I never played Lacross. I thought it was a scam. I go meet with coach anyhow. He goes we were scouting recent transfer students. Says here you rant track in HS, Long Distance and 100 yard dash and look in shape. I go yea I am still in shape, he asked me height and weight I go six foot two inche 190 pound. He goes perfects, can you still run? I go well I do do track anymore but in intermural basketball I play I can run the full game no problem at all.

Dude whips out a scholorship form for me to sign. I go what, he goes you will be the defense in practice and maybe play garabage time. I need someone big and quick in practice to block the starters. I can teach you some lacross but you wont really need that. I get form I go home to show Mom.

It says in fine print I forfeit all my financial aid to school directly to recoup atlethic Scholorship. So in other words I am not getting anything, I did not pay tuition, if said if injured school not liable for medical payments from injury and I cant sue them if injured. Then it added on during season I cant hold a part time job. I had a 20 hour a week part time job I had to quit.

My Mom read it and laughed out loud. So for 20-30 hours a week people are going to hit you with sticks in practive for free and you have to quit your job for that privledge and if hurt you are on your own.

For most people it is a scam.   [/quote]

This didn’t happen but nice fiction.[/quote]

Agree.  No coach would think you could pick up LAX enough to play because you ran track.  Kind of a lot of typos ---- maybe the LAX would have helped your resume.[/quote]
