Help me understand.......since Stanford provides free tuition, room and board to students whose parents make less than a certain amount ($75K?), could we save on athletic scholarships by not providing them to students whose parents make less than $75K? The athletic scholarship probably has some additional perks, but if we got in a one year squeeze, is this a way to help address it?

I've wondered about this before, in the case of football players who didn't really need the scholarship. If your father played in the NFL, for instance. The problem, I assume, is the other benefits, primarily medical, that come along with a scholarship. I don't know if they would necessarily transfer if a recruit decided he didn't want the scholarship. Really, though, I have no idea.
