11,600 per qaurter, for classes. 3 quarters is typical year. so 34,800 in tuition.

indicates about $640 per month is on the cheap side for housing. ~8000 in housing. Probably another ~8000 in expenses. These are all on the very conservative side.

Its hyposcrisy, MTR...a school like Stanford, for instance, pays their players $600,000 per year...NAIA school Cal Baptist pays their players around $150,000...the players under scholarship are paid to play...plain and simple. If a player under scholarship tells the coach that they don't really want to play any more.....no scholarship. If you are paid to play, you are a professional.

Is $600K a full ride? How many players on Stanfords roster would be at that level of scholarship?

$50,000/scholarship X 12 scholarships = $600,000

#1. A scholarship is not legal tender, is non-transferable (from the user's side), cannot be cashed in for legal tender, nor can it be traded for goods, valuables or services (other than those for which it was awarded).

#2. The declared cost to the supplier is just like that of an unused hotel room, intentionally inflated.

#3. The school is required to provide study assistance to all student-athletes, scholarship or not.

#4. The provided education in and of itself has zero street value. It is simply a tool which when properly applied can bring the world to the recipient's feet.

#5. Dogs consider feces to be an acceptable form of food.
