Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1385936, member: 622"] I agree with your sentiment but the argument is that if the kid missing out on the scholarship wasn't marginal, he would have gotten the scholarship over the 5th year guy. It is not a scam on the system if the rules allow for the action. Simply because I don't make $1MM/year and don't have $10MM in the bank does not mean that rich people are scamming the system because they exercise a right to a tax break. I am still eligible for the same tax break if I can get my income and investments to their levels. I do agree that schools like Kentucky have no concern about education and that Syracuse has taken the high road (generally) but the system allows for the transfers. Every school knows that the kid can leave after four years and use a fifth year at another school when they recruit the kid. That risk is assumed the moment the scholarship is offered. [/QUOTE]
