You are right! Most of the time they will offer academic, financial aid etc.. to the kids they don't deem impact players or parents dumb enough to take scholarship/aid that can change from year to year depending on your Tax return and daughters grades. The parents that are smart, know that the more athletic money you get, the better off you are! If the school really wants your daughter they will anti up the Athletic scholarship (in some cases 100%), they will give the "packages" to the parents willing to take them. I assume you are a parent who took the "package"? Who is the genius now?



According to bald bear research 50% of girls recruited are not on the roster for all four years, academic and need based grants don't go away, that money will be there all four years. I have heard of kids being told they're not getting any athletic money because need based money is going to cover most if not all their tuition expenses and the coach doesn't want to waste scholarship money if that's the case
