How he will handle this financially is a fair question.
The latest quote from Ginn Sr: "... he wont waste a year playing special teams. This way he won't have to redshirt and he still will have five years."
This is a kid who considered not going to college because he needed to support his family. Now he may take six years to get through college?
Please tell me he doesn't have a cell phone.

given Freddie's background there is a TON of financial aid that he can legitimately access....

if freddie doesn't qualify as a football player, how can he qualify as a nonplayer? are admission standards higher for athletes than nonathletes? wouldn't that be considered discriminatory?

athletes always have lower admission standards than "normal" applicants b/c the coaches are giving out the schollys, so as long as the athlete meets the bare minimum requirements to get in, he/she can accept a scholly. On the other hand, normal applicants might have above average scores and still be rejected. An interesting stat- Stanford rejects 50% of people that score a perfect 1600 applying there every year, which is pretty damn elite company. However, if you're a big time fball/bball recruit, a 1100 and you're guaranteed in. sorry for the digression- back to freddie.

Thanks Nevada, this is good to know.
Damn, these guys on Tressel's staff are good!! He's not just a helluva coach and a classy individual, but he and his staff have their "Football Ops" (operations) together. |
