No doubt many kids get some scholarhsip help for sports--but that is NOT, or SHOULD NOT be the primary mission of schools. Reminds me of the scene from the movie "Friday Night Lights" where the caller on the sport radio show says that one of the the major reasons that Permian High School lost a game is "that school is teaching 'em too much."

There is a LOT of scholarship money available for ACADEMICS; which, coincidentally and ironically, IS the PRIMARY mission of schools. In fact, if every student reading this board REALLY wanted to guarantee themselves scholarship money they should do two things:
#1 make good grades & #2 play a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT through high school. Those two areas will get kids scholarship money at ALL levels of college.
