New Info
(most of my time was spent with the collegue counselor asking questions about scholarships)
The athletic scholarships are regulated by the NCAA
The colleges give athletic scholarships because its a good publicity, and even though its hard to believe the universities highest revenue is from sports.
Why is this?
Well sports is one of the biggest sources of entertainment, specially in the us. So they want to invest to receive from donations etc....
The highest revenue in 2008 was over 123,000,000 dollars, JUST IN FOOTBALL.
My question for next class is: why do universities give academic scholarships.
