Bee, I know because we did our homework - checked APRs, grad rates, admission stats, GPAs, and addressed it specifically with the coach. My point is, there are other more suitable baseball opportunities for the case in question rather than taking up spots in a D1 college that better serve quality athletes who really want to learn. In regard to your parallels, my guy wasn't overlooked, but I've seen some smart, talented kids (not charity cases either) take a back seat to academic risk cases who flame out within a year - a total waste of precious scholarship money.
