This I agree with. Seems if this kid is so bright, he should be able to get a scholarship. In fact, I'd be surprised if colleges weren't 'courting' him.

I don't see why, a kid in college at that age would be a distraction. They lack the social and emotional maturity to thrive in environments at a school like UCLA.

Possibly. But there is prestige in 'landing' a child genius as a student, which translates into money.
