Wow, when I tell you I am beyond shocked. Undoubtedly she got a full ride but I’m surprised that one of the definitive best runners in the class of 2021 didn’t get snatched up by the up and coming ACC/SEC programs-Oklahoma state is incredibly lucky
Congrats to her though!
She’ll have some solid training partners there like Molly Born
What exactly is an "up-and-coming SEC/ACC program?"

I think that person meant...programs like NC State, UNC or Arkansas

Hahahhahahaaha. That's what "up-and-coming" means? Interesting. Are you nine?
No way she got an an athketic full ride. Sure she probably is paying nothing after academic scholarships are combined with athketics scholarship.
Well wouldn’t that be a full ride then if she is paying nothing?

No. A full ride implies that they are getting everything from athletics. This doesn't happen with very many XC/track athletes. Most XC/track athletes will have a partial scholarship for athletics. Many will also have academic scholarships that may/may not cover the rest of their expenses.
Correct. I estimate that she got 40%. She is still worth the gamble.
"The moment was especially special with Grace, who will go off to Oklahoma State on a full ride scholarship next year." -

I have no idea what mix of athletics and/or academics are involved in the scholarship.
She seems several years past her prime, sadly. Anyway, I thought her parents are loaded...doubt they care if it s a full ride or not.

Women have something like 17 scholarships to give, compared to the guys 11.7 or whatever it is. She's a very accomplished runner already, she would certainly get more than 40% even at a pretty successful program like oklahoma state. I'd bet she's closer to full than 40%.
She's a foot locker finalist, I believe more than once (so she's not some fluke runner that had one good season)... Even if she barely gets better, imagine having a team full of 17 runners like her (the 17 scholarships for women's track)... Oklahoma state doesn't try to have a well-balanced track team like some other P5 schools do, they go pretty big in distance events. So the chances are she's got a full scholarship. I got 50% to a conference championship P5 school, I never qualified for foot locker nationals, and I'm a guy (remember guys have less scholarships to give).
Pretty much everything you said was false. You don't know how many scholarships the NCAA allows but you think you have an idea how much a random school puts into a particular program. Ok St had 55 women on the roster. Nine did the long jump indoor in 2020. Seven did the 60. thirteen did the 800. Five did the 3000. One ran the 5000. Wait, you said they put their scholarships into distance. Ping hasn't been under 10 minutes for 3k or 17 minutes for 5k in several years. She will not score in the Big 12. Not scoring at the conference meet does not earn you a scholarship when you have 55 women on the team. 40% is my generous estimate. You forget that there are jumps, throws, sprints, hurdles, mid-D, and multis that take up scholarships and actually score.
And since you don't even know how many scholarships are allowed, you did not get a 1/2 athletic scholarship. Many Footlocker qualifiers come nowhere close to a 1/2 scholarship. You may have gotten a 1/2 scholarship from academics and just didn't realize it.
She got a full athletic
She got 1/2 academic and 25% athletic scholarship.
It is rude for you to insult her. She is an intelligent young lady and Ok State is very generous with academic aid. You are essentially calling her a moron by stating that she got a full athletic scholarship. Her Dad will most likely respond to you.

My brother went to OSU and said it was 76% athletic and 44% academic.
So the donors will be illegally paying her?
Reaganomics, and the third half was work/study.
