I’m sorry I think I may have confused you on the scholarship thing and understand this is what we heard from her and her Mom, at least in regard to one incident. She was a all state basketball player and if I remember holds a state record in rebounds, I did confirm that and she only played one sport, woman’s basketball. I know she did have one basketball scholarship for sure and that another college did offer her the same basketball ride after she screwed up the first time and they quickly figured she wasn’t going to work and released her, heck from what her dad said they couldn’t find her at school she was off with her boyfriend.
As for the third, that is what (her and her mom) tell and give another lame excuse why she lost that one-it’s never her fault you see. Her dad says the third one is pure fantasy land, but that she did screwed the pooch on two for sure. He said she simply wouldn’t go to class and wouldn’t come to practice and expected to play. He’s washed his hands on her where college is concerned. Sorry for the confusion.
I understand. Sports scholarships and parents talking about them is like a junior version of “stolen valor.”
I used to spend a lot of time with coaches AND a lot of time with administrators.
The whole “scholarship” thing at D2 and D3 schools is often presented in a very “muddy” light. There are a lot of ego issues, pride issues, and financial aid issues that the normal outsider lumps into a single “scholarship” bucket.
And moving from school to school brings up things like “red shirting” and mandatory time off. The rules are all very complicated. Boring. And not really relevant.
All I am saying is, it’s tough for people with first hand knowledge to track. Second and third hand, passing knowledge is always conflated. I easy to not be able to follow it.
