Not everybody does that.  At Western Michigan, the starter only gets 1/2 of an athletic scholarship, but its a state school, so it costs less.  Private schools have a lot more $$ to make up than state schools.  His won't all be athletic money, some will come from academic side, so his full ride won't be a full athletic scholarship.
One of the tricks was looking at rosters, scholarship limits (not all programs are fully funded) then finding the right place where he would not have the pressure of coming in and starting right away, but also would not have to sit for 2-3 years.
This one just worked out really well, on all of the issues.
Also, to the bigger question, Manhattan just gave a full ride to a field player from Germany coming in next year, so it all depends on the player. 
Here is my kid's video.

Same HS as Alex Bono, who our coach compared him to favorably.  (Bono got very little athletic money from SU, at least initially)

(My brother had tuition scholarship, then a tennis scholarship for books and room and board).
