- Thread starter bluroptimo
- Start date
Thought this was PSU at first and wasn't very happy...
Good for Penn! They like Reina over there. I went to Penn for a year. West Philly was not to kind to me. I got three,count em,two cars stolen ,and a third broken into while in Philly. All in a seven month period.
Meh...mere chump change for PSU.
I think Penn was the one who tried to get JB out there with big $$$.
Right, but the rich don't need to get any richer! I'm very happy for Penn. Its good to see another program that will battle for top recruits, and hopefully help grow the sport.
Correct me if I am wrong, however, I do NOT think that Ivy League schools give out sports scholarships. I would imagine that the money will go towards facilities or possibilities coaches salaries. That would have to be the incentive for getting "top recruits".
They give aid to athletes, they just call it something different. I don't think that changes your point, though.
Math or English major?
As a Penn alum, I have always cheered for their wrestlers (except against Hawkeyes, of course). Hopefully their program is on the rise!
Officially, they don't give athletic scholarships. However, with tuition that high and massive need-based financial aid, my guess is that almost all the wrestlers get great financial aid packages unless their family makes big bucks:
This from Harvard:
- Our program requires no contribution from Harvard families with annual incomes below $65,000. About 20% of our families have no parent contribution.
- Families with incomes between $65,000 and $150,000 will contribute from 0-10% of their income, and those with incomes above $150,000 will be asked to pay proportionately more than 10%, based on their individual circumstances.
Pretty sure, that’s where slay is at isn’t it?
I think it’s a joint between penn and Drexel
Some of you probably know that Iowa native A.J. Geers is wrestling at Penn. Super young man. I’m glad for whatever perks might come his way as a result of this gift.
That’s two,count em,one great joke ,and I laughed.
At least your mom didn’t get scared and send you to live with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.
