[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder what % of these kids are actually getting sports scholarships? Are all these swimmers, x country, field hockey, women's hockey, volleyball players going to college for 100% free (tuition & room and board)? [/quote] Depends on sport and school. But each team gets a certain number of scholarships. Many kids on teams aren’t on athletics scholarships, particularly in sports like tennis, golf, crew, etc.—but they do get preference in admissions. This is why the admissions scandal was possible; corrupt coaches could put kids on teams without anyone noticing/caring because the kids weren’t getting aid—on the contrary, they were full-pay, which helped the universities’ bottom lines![/quote]
