Not a comprehensive list but UVA, UNC, Duke,Notre Dame.Alot more just too many to list.
When you look at the rosters of UVA, Duke, Hopkins, ND, et al. you can count the number of public school kids on one hand for each school. So its either Prep or Private School, or one needs to do the cost & time of a PG year I guess. The other issue with 'big money' is it's coming on the academic side, with 45 man rosters and only 12 scholarships per year, that's not a lot of athletic money to go around. Plus for many of these schools the 'athletic scholarship' is on a year to year basis. In general, Big Ten schools give out 4 year athletic scholarships many in the ACC do not.
