[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With only a very few exceptions, the only full ride D1 athletic scholarships (for males at least) are for football and basketball. All others are partials. Half if lucky, but more likely 1/3 or 1/4. That makes the D3 full scholarship boast even more absurd. [/quote]

Absolute horseshit. My nephew got a full ride for swimming and my coworkers sons- both of them- got full rides for baseball.[/quote]

Is your nephew a world class swimmer?  Full rides can happen but they are exceedingly rare. If he’s not heading to the Olympics he didn’t get a full ride. [/quote]

Again- thats me youre quoting, and yes, he is connected with the Olympics.[/quote]
Are you sure your coworker didn't say "my kid got a baseball scholarship," which you interpreted to be a "full scholarship" and you now know to be false?[/quote]

Am I sure I understand the situation of the guy who sits next to me from 8-5, M-F, 5 days a week for the last 6 years?  Yeah, I'm sure.[/quote]

And an Olympic level nephew swimmer. 
The odds of one person you know getting a full ride in either of those sports is vanishingly small. Yet you know 3. 
Not buying it.

DP. What a weird take. Dude could work at a sports agency, or Nike, or IMG, or literally anywhere.

You do know that shit tons of kids get full rides to D1 schools, right? You think most MLB players paid full freight? Feel free to be the fool. I won't stop you.[/quote]

This article disagrees with you.
