Thanks for the correction. Did this change from all sports to just FB/BB at some point. I recall a friends daughter going to a Big 10 school but she was informed that her academic aid counted against athletic scholarships. Maybe I heard it wrong. This was 7-8 years ago.

I wonder what Hasty is getting. Oregon is so deep in every event. they have national class guys coming out of HS in every event.
Well Oregon will only talk to track athletes that have won at least 1 individual state championship. There are bound to be a few national caliber athletes in that mix...just saying
You guys that think if you score a point in the national meet and thus get a full ride are smokin' some serious dope. Even if it's a comination of academic/ need based/ athletic you are talking about, I can tell you with 100% surety that you are dead wrong. From personal experience.
Oregon has a lot going for it

LOL. "The booster bagmen," yeah, no. Would it were that easy. 4 kids living in a two bedroom apt., is more like it.
Success breeds success. Word is out that if you are good enough to be allowed to walk on at Oregon, you will ultimately break 4:00. Very few milers good enough to make that team that run all 4 or 5 years under Powell don't break 4:00.
Most other schools around the country have never even had one 4:00 guy. At Oregon you get to train with a boatload of them everyday and you become like those around you. You get the mindset like it's no big deal to break 4:00. It's actually expected as a first step toward eventually contributing to the team.
Everywhere else (practically), breaking 4:00 is a lifetime, stretch, fantasy goal. Almost considered unrealistic.

I wish we could get one of these guys to tell us what type of scholarship they received. I use my handle to try to bring some knowledge to related threads but the collective group always has significantly more knowledge than any individual. Doing the math on the current Oregon team, I say that there is barely space to start Hasty at 1/4. If they have guys who can’t walk-on at 4:10, that only makes sense.
A few guys get full. Chez, Centro, Wheating ( his last 2 years).
Curious about Wheating -- once he's there, why give him the scholly? Did he threaten to go pro or transfer if they didn't?
