9.9 is true, but lots of parent don’t need scholarships and they don’t take them. Lots of these parents are already paying tuition, so it’s no big deal. There are lots of factors that could be taking place. It doesn’t have to be cheating.
No, it doesn't have to be cheating, and PSU isn't the first school to have a parent pay out of pocket instead of taking a full ride for their clearly full ride level athlete son, for the betterment of the team.
They are however in my opinion the first school to "apparently" do it to this degree.
It's also a lot easier to take if Little Johnny is sitting on the bench at Alabama, if all of his bills are being paid for by the school. Or at Kentucky with Calipari. That's an entirely different animal when it comes to Wrestling, Baseball, etc.
Iowa Wrestling has a spoiled fan base without question, and I've said from the beginning of the PSU run, that Iowa just has to get better to beat them. Quit crying and get to work. That is still true, and if the playing field is level (history tells us it rarely is), that should happen in my opinion.
Now all that said, I'm old school to the core, and I've seen a lot of ducks in my lifetime, and my observations in that timeframe are to this day.........
If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it's a duck. I've been proven correct on that assessment far more than I've been proven wrong.
Admittedly I don't know a lot about you or your son, but from what little I have read he seems like a fine young man, and has clearly worked his tail off. So at the end of the day I wish you both well.
