If I worked hard enough maybe I would've got one too. For me to be upset would just be a jealous reaction, and I'm not big on jealousy. They weren't given an opportunity, they earned it. They were gifted enough to deserve it. These schools know exactly what they take on with these kids with barely passing GPA's in high school. You know that doesn't translate to college. How can you do college work without the basis of even having the high school skills down pact. High school doesn't even do a good job of preparing you for college or life. Its an all around dumb idea. Just another way to open up the door for more corruption in college football.
As we covered before, I've got 10 years on you. 70% of life is just showing up physically and or mentally. What you will feel will not be jealousy for what they have or don't have, it will be compassionate anger as you recognize another person squandered a gift that would have changed his live and generations of his family's behind him.... For some its to be the first college graduate in the family.


Your lowering the bar with the "college material" prerequisite. I know some idiots with diplomas.
