Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 3005720, member: 1329"] Just gong to post this again. From the article: So the difference is that Drummond used all loans or received external scholarship/grants not related to UConn. Of note, he couldn't get aid related to being an athlete, as that would constitute improper benefits. He was likely easily able to secure loans that he could pay off based on his potential future income (likely with enough injury insurance to cover the loans and much more). So Akok would need to get either full loans to cover full tuition (no financial aid whatsoever, including need-based aid), or just sit out this semester and get some financial assistance from UConn and (presumably?) practice. I'm not sure if it was reported if he qualified for in-state tuition or not. Can't blame the guy for not wanting to take on 20k+ debt if he can just wait 3 months and not do that. [/QUOTE]
