[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2636182, member: 70903"] my point was every year a student athlete that is not on a full athletic scholarship has the ability to earn an academic one or a larger one if they have some already based on their grades - just like a transfer student does that is coming to TCU for the first time. And its easier for an existing student to qualify if you look purely at metrics actually. It is not only "transfer" students and incoming freshman that can apply for or receive new academic aid every semester - the money just comes from different buckets based on the TCU admission and retention goals. I understand your point about the 25% rule now - I was thinking you saying the 25% amount would be less if a student was living off campus and maybe I am wrong, but it has always been explained to me that the percentage has to be calculated on the total cost of attendance, not just tuition even if a student athlete is living off campus. Not sure if you are living "at home" what applies since I have not run into that situation. And the overall cost disadvantage is well known by everyone involved obviously - thus the reason why Don Whelan's entire focus in life is increasing the endowment now. [/QUOTE]
