TE Connor Center (Milford) Offered

[xc84]

NCAA Division I football is a "head count" sport, meaning 85 scholarships are allowed to be handed out to 85 people. One for one. No partial scholarships allowed (I-AA is different, as are most Olympic sports).

Therefore, if a kid is offered "grant-in-aid", it HAS to be a full ride.

Hence, Syracuse and Colorado were offering the same exact thing.

My head hurts.

Except nowhere does it say the kid was offered a "grant-in-aid". And, I am pretty sure even walk-ons can get grants.

I'm aware that division 1 football "scholarships" are full scholarships only. The wording in the article referred to a financial aid agreement. You're assuming that based on him receiving a financial aid agreement that its the Non LOI athletic type, which would have to be a full ride. He very well could be getting financial aid like any other student, need based or academic, and walking on. That would still constitute a financial aid agreement.

My head hurts because so many of you like to turn vague information into facts.

The only facts out there are that SU offered a scholarship and CU offered some sort of financial aid package.

This article indicates he did sign an LOI, so I think that puts this thing to bed. He's on scholarship and the wording in the PS article was inaccurate, shocking.

The skout article about his commitment indicated the same thing.

No HS football? No problem. #Colorado's new TE had quite a path to CU from NY: http://bit.ly/174pgbp
