athletic scholarships...fair or not?

How fair do you think most athletic scholarships are that are full rides? Personally, I think it's just a bit ridiculous. Like this girl at my school is playing volleyball for Duke and is getting a full ride for it...while I got into engineering on my own merits, but will not be able to go because "financial aid" isn't enough...I actually happen to like this girl and think she is amazing, but I just think it's a bit ridiculous that volleyball gets a full ride...

I agree, if it's a sport that generates a lot of income like bball for Duke, football/hockey for other schools, etc, then it makes sense. But for somewhat small sports?

Gah. What do you think?
