We never ever considered an athletic scholarship since no relative I can think of ever played any college sport for scholarship. We stressed academics and hoped for something to be awarded based on that.

Same for us. I keep telling him that he should play bec he loves to, not bec he has to (i.e. for scholarship money). I even told him that I don't mind him going to college to play baseball w/o any athletic scholarship (i.e. just academic scholarship and/or out of my pocket). That way, he gets to play w/o pressure of maintaining scholarship and purely for the love of the game. But he looked at me as if I have 4 eyes. I think a big part of it is not the athletic scholarship itself, but the recognition and validation that comes with being recruited.
