For the people who say kids aren't paid more if they are good at sports financial aid wise, I have to disagree. While it might not happen at all schools, it definitely does happen. The most recent I can think of is a pair of twins couldn't go to a private school due to the financial burden. Financial aid was offered, but still not enough. So the boys went to their public school football practice for a couple days before...look at that! More money was found! I'm pretty sure their test scores didn't jump up over night, and their financial situation had not changed either.
