[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the choice is small school in the middle of nowhere for free or small school in the middle of nowhere for 50k a year it doesn't matter if you are UMC, paying for college in scenario is asanine and quite frankly none of your business.  They throw money at kids for a reason, D3 sports is not a cakewalk... all of the extra time and energy for none of the great facilities and playing for nobody. It's basically club ball with a lot of parents in folding chairs on the grass. I know one kid that went to play at some no-name school with 400 students and they had to farm their own food. They were miserable.[/quote]

It is probably not free. They are probably travel sports braggarts lying to save face. Tuition is likely heavily discounted, but $60,000 annual cost of attendance minus $30,000 in scholarships is still $30,000 owed each year. "Free" is $0 owed, not $30,000 a year. Even if the college awarded enough in scholarships for "free" tuition, the family would still owe over $20,000 a year in room, board, books and fees. $80,000 over four years is a long ways from free.[/quote]
