<p>^^ I agree. Clearly the coach wanted a lot more kids more. And when a coach gives a kid a scholarship, he’s looking for those kids to end up being the ones that contribute to his team. They get more chances and are favored, as they should be. To say a walk on has equal chance at the D1 level is ridiculous, it’s very possible…not likely. It matters what you want out of your experience.</p>
<p>I know kids who’s parents could very very easily afford the education that walked onto teams and became role plays. They don’t need that scholarship at all, but the scholarship represents truly being apart of the team at a lot of schools, so the coach awards that minimal role player instead of using it on another freshman with high potential.</p>
