Message: [QUOTE="FAL, post: 1094207, member: 2294"] According to Brown, he thought he had received an athletic scholarship to SU, when in fact, unbeknownst to Brown, his first-year tuition and other college fees were paid by a number of prominent/wealthy citizens in the community he grew up in. Of course his remaining time at SU was on scholarship, but I got the impression that being duped as a freshman along with some crappy treatment at that time made a lasting impression edged with some bitterness. Pick up a copy at Amazon.com--you can get it pretty cheap.
