We had a family on our daughters club team that was so NICE. They were alumni of an ACC school and huge fans and dreamed of their daughter going there and playing. Their daughter was a very good player and a very hard worker and a great student. She never got a sniff from that ACC school. I wonder what the difference might have been?

I just watched a D1 college game last night. Is apparent some Coaches want big, strong, fast and physical players. They won't even look as speedy, small, technical players. There were very few technical skills on display at that game last night. Hard to survive as a technical player when you are going to get ran over by a mac truck on game day. I think that might be a non-starter for some D1 schools.

Also true for recent UVA grads

the top players at duke don't pay. there are 14 scholarships to play with...the bottom 5 players families are paying more than tuition.

Oh yes they do!

Please share since you seem to know...80 percent scholarship? Duke is only 90K a year, so they all ain't paying.

Duke has an endowment of over $12 billion.

I know but they are not funding the scholarships. Trust me

The endowment = scholarships for athletes has not been applicable for many many years.

Willing to clarify for the clueless? What do you mean paying more than tuition? Are the 14 scholarships tuition and room/board and you are saying bottom 5 pay tuition, room and board or what is other costs bottom 5 would be paying?

Not the OG poster, but I think they are trying to say that those bottom spots are bought and paid for....it will be also interesting to see where schools fall though with with new roster limit and scholarship - there's a few schools that have already stated they are fully funding all 28 roster spots plus, from what I suspect, more that are upping their scholarships overall from the original limit of 14.

most of the sports are not using all their scholarships.
