[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was just another way for a sponsor to give him money, and take a tax deduction. Nathan could have gone to any university. [/quote]

No, the scholarship was specific to Yale. The school really wanted him to attend and offered daily private ice time for him on their campus rink. [/quote]

Wow there's a lot of wild revisionist history here about Nathan. He enrolled at Yale several years before the 2022 Bejing Olympics. He took a leave of absence to train for the Games in California with his long-time coach. If Yale gave him private ice, it was not much. For years, local skaters have posted pics and shared stories of Nathan training on local freestyle sessions in CT.  And, if he got a full-ride, good for him. Winning the Olympics took a lifetime of sacrifice and training. I'm sure Yale will soldier on financially without his tuition payment. [/quote]

Nathan was already an Olympian (2018 Pyeongchang, and had many sponsors that Olympic year) before attending Yale. They did give him private ice though he also trained at nearby rinks.

“Chen practices by himself for an hour to an hour and a half each day at Yale’s Ingalls Rink.”
