Look, you started this shit with your constant St Rita bashing! No, my son was not just wanted for athletics. He had the grades. BR wanted him to play football and tried to sway us by offering us "aid." They wanted him for football, nothing else. I know how the system woks and I know that no CCL school gives athletic scholarships but you act like Rice has never given a kid assistance to get them in for sports! That is what it's all about! Make sure the kid has the grades so you can make it look like it is for academics. If my kid, or any kid for that matter, wanted to go to Rice but didn't offer anything athletically, you and your buddies on the Financial Committee would tell the young man that you couldn't get him in-UNLESS he has past ties to your school!
