Even this article uses words like "rare" and "unlikely" to describe the likelihood of getting one. For every rare case of a full athletic scholarship there are probably 100 players getting nothing.


Yup. First hand knowledge, let's define: full athletic rides exist, as do slapped together full rides scrounging cash from whatever means necessary to get there. For 99% of players headed off to play college, you are correct, it is not a full ride. People must think their kids are the top players in the country and are offended by the idea that someone else's kid got the offer that their kid never did. As I read all these posts from naysayers, it makes me feel better and better about the offers my kid received.
