I fully support scholarships that aren't of an academic nature. College kids are poor and any help they can get, they should.
I had the chance at a sports related scholarship but I lost it due to an injury and because my parents make too much money, I'm not eligible for student loans, but I do manage to get small scholarships here and there.
When you think about it, college is an academic institution, but with college there are big college sporting events. These football, basketball, baseball, etc. teams give the students and faculty spirit, pride and all that. They can also make quite a bit of money on them. If the school wants that recognition and that revenue, it needs the athletes. I believe that some college athletes should get paid on top of the expenses that the school might cover.
