Coach Walter in Greensboro last night

Sig, site your evidence, UNC has for years given Morehead Scholly's to people who play sports saving the official scholly for others.

Tyrell Godwin; turned down an almost $2mil signing bonus from the Yankees to accept the Morehead and play football and baseball at UNC.

Dammit, who was the Morehead Scholar PG? I feel like it was post-2000 but before Roy's first ship. Brad Frederick maybe?

I feel like Pearce Landry was a Morehead.

academic scholarships?

Exactly, just like Ivy Leagues do technically. We could supplement and give ourselves the same deal and help over the 11.7. Just like state schools do when they give an out of state kid the in-state tuition rate to help the parents. Makes it much more palatable to pay 50% of in-state at $18,000 per year than 50% of out of state at $40,000.

You got it. Farther back than I thought.

Swofford was a Morehead Scholar and he played football at UNC.

Coach walter gave a nice presentation at the Greensboro dog and pony show last night. Gave us their strategy going forword as to how they were recruiting and how that was impacted by Wake's high tuition. He was asked how Vanderbilt was able to be one of the top teams with the same high tuition and scholarship limits that we have. He responded that Vanderbilt had such a large endowment that they were able to offer money to cover the differential, in fact, he said the two best players on the team were not even on Baseball scholarships but were fully funded by the school. Very interesting talk.

any student accepted to Wake, can receive need based aid (grants that you dont pay back)or scholarships to cover tuition hence sounds like a bunch of BS.
