Old School....I guess my statement came out kind of wrong. The OP said the "coach did give him academic money". That's the basis for my statement. That can't happen......which is why I said they need to "verify" what the coach told them before they commit to enrolling. I'm aware that at some schools....let's say Vandy....that there are huge amounts of money available outside of the academic scholarships....but again, it's not up to the coach to determine that, though I'll agree that they can point people in the right direction and could probably "help" if needed. Again, I was basing my comments on the OP's comment and want him to be clear on what he's getting before making a decision, if money is part of the equation
