Re: Scholarship cost

[Mike W.]

absolutely correct.  all scholarships are paid for somewhere and somehow. if it is acedemic or athletic real money is exchanged. i should know, i work for UC. My tuition remision is even repaid to the University.

for the tuition of each athlete under scholarship. It is "real"
money. It does cost more for an out of state student than for an
in-state one. Room and board are not cheap. Each flight to away games
costs the price of a ticket per person.

It isn't trivial, although I have no idea what the cost is overall.
