You and I clearly do not see this the same way. Honor has nothing to do with this. Did the kid earn a scholarship or not? If so, give him a scholarship, if not do not offer. Simple. Does not matter who knows. What the circumstances are.
Are you guys really saying a scholarship offer depends on parents or need? I am totally confused.
No doubt you are confused; you have completely missed the point.
The point is not the kid’s financial stability. The point, which was made clear, is that the poster chose to publicly name a 19 year old kid and publicly question whether that kid should be on scholarship. That poster, and now you, are utilizing an anonymous message board to publicly question whether a kid should be on scholarship.
Whether your son or any other student maintains a scholarship is inconsequential to this matter. No one is naming your son or publicly questioning whether your son should have a scholarship.
Choosing to publicly question whether a kid should have a scholarship while hiding in the realm of anonymity is contemptible. Doing so with careless disregard for someone’s financial stability is doubly contemptible.
You can ask yourself how you would react if someone publicly questioned whether your son should have a scholarship while remaining anonymous; or you can attempt to make an argument for why posters should publicly question scholarships while naming players. Please, I would love to hear you try to make that argument.
