So his kid did nothing to earn the scholarship?

FWIW, I don't think any players should get athletic scholarships paid for at Florida or Alabama, no matter how rich or poor.

Sean Combs has nothing to do with his son in this instance. His son has earned this on his own merit.

Im saying his daddys name gave him an edge. I hope he has to compete instead of being put on field over more qualified while he gets free ride and his daddy gets to stand on sidelines unlike other players parents. All this while Diddy gives no money.

Nonsense...Sean Combs has to repay to the community based on his kid's ability to play college football.

No, he is very qualified to receive the athletic scholarship, I can promise you that. Diddy shouldnt have to give a cent if his son EARNS this scholarship, which he did. Why does Diddy owe anyone anything?

There are a ton of people who are upset with this, I look at it as a sort of reverse entitlement. Just because you have money doesnt mean you are prevented from being eligible for scholarships (especially ones that are not of a need basis) if you earn them. To suggest that just because you have some money, you should just give up something that your son has earned is borderline retarded.

He earned it, he deserves it. From the articles I've read, he is a good student and never got in any trouble, to boot. Sounds like he should be a true 3* with 5* heart. And I mean that...

UVA has a strong roster as well. Hell it's college, it's hard not to find attractive females.

Exactly.

3+ GPA and he has the athletic talent to warrant a schlorship to UCLA. Yet he is unworthy of said scholarship because his daddy can afford it.

Really?
