So the choice was between a full academic scholarship at Ohio State, or Cornell, net of whatever financial aid he received.
Don't get me wrong--I'm just setting facts straight. I'm glad he's at Ohio State. I wish him all the success in the world, both on and off the field. Ohio State has a very good engineering program, and having the opportunity to go for free is quite an academic achievement.
Oh--and I hope he also gets the chance to blast some 5'8", 165 lb. TSUN DB into oblivion too.

Thanks for the correction. Since I have a daughter that attends Cornell, I should have known that.
