And although there are no D3 scholarships, he got a lot of money through university scholarships given to athletes through loopholes. I'd assume his tuition was 50-70% covered. For the record the kid ended up being All-American in college.
I think the point was Free Duke Degree >>>>> Paid for D3 Degree.
