I don't see the correlation.
If the same linebacker is given the opportunity to play for Guilford College for free or play for A&T for a scholly, he's playing at A&T nine times out of ten.
Likewise, if Central's offering the piccolo player a scholarship and A&T is not, which school's gonna have a piccolo player?
The basic complaint is that the numbers aren't there. I'm saying if we offered scholarships that complaint wouldn't exist. Yes we would still complain about the quality of the band but the complaints about the quality of the band lately have been stemming from the quantity of the band.
Therefore, none of these threads would be open. They would start once the season started because people would, as usual, complain about the lack of fire, lack of air humping, song-selection, whatever.
You get what you pay for and to think you're going to get a good number of talented musicians to literally play for a song and dance when they're getting full rides isn't good thinking in 2007. People are fighting to get on some bands. I'm willing to bet these bands offer scholarships. Black kids are playing music you know they hate for major colleges (and minor ones) all over the country. I bet 80% or more ain't doing it for free.
