Sure Ivies will take 4:10 guys who get into the school. But it costs $70k per year because they have no athletic or academic aid.
No academic aid? That’s nowhere near true. Not relevant for this conversation but it’s completely made up.
No, it isn't. I used to coach in the League, and there is no academic-based financial aid. Nobody gets more money because s/he has a particularly outstanding academic profile.
Coaches can and do provide aid in *admissions* for good athletes who are (slightly) marginal academically; but *financial* aid (which was the topic of discussion) is based entirely on family financial circumstances, period.
