Do any Romney supporters have a problem with this?

Or is it just the system?

So what? The kid worked hard on the field and on his grades. What his family is worth is besides the point.

jjgold · 05-30-12 06:26 PM

Does not seem right but like Illini said he deserved it

Interesting viewpoint you have.

So the system should pay for his college even though his dad is worth 500million?

Now we know how the rich operate.

The dont spend their own money.

Romney supporter and no problem at all. Good athlete, good student ... it's the American way. If he wasn't black I bet Obama supporters would have a problem with it though.

"worked hard in the classroom"

his scholarship was given to him because of his last name. He wont see any playing time at UCLA.

Well of course they dont.

He drives a $300,000 car at 16 years old.

They have a problem with a single mom getting $100 a month in food stamps from the system though.

Ya, some bs

05-30-12 06:32 PM

i don't know how good this kid is but i wonder why he didn't choose usc over ucla. i would think usc is more fitting considering his family background... we don't need thugs in westwood!!!!!

raydog · 05-30-12 06:36 PM

no problem with it...as long as he proves he is scholarship material on the field...if all he does is ride the pine, jerk that shit away from him and make him pay of he wants to be there...west coast colleges love to hear mouthpieces spit out famous names

jjgold · 05-30-12 06:39 PM

Lets concentrate on people miking welfare system and Obama turning his back

We need this guy out of office

I agree. He earned his way in. But, it fits the MO of some to expect "the rich to pay for it".

So in your eyes the American taxpayer should pay for his college fees?

Something tells me you dont pay American taxes.

ttwarrior1 · 05-31-12 12:36 AM

his dad is a murderer

05-31-12 12:47 AM

Not a Romney supporter but he earned his scholarship......UCLA can give scholarships for their school to whoever they see fit for whatever reason

exactly, people don't understand that ucla is a public university and it's funded by the state. no bench warmer especially from out of state should get a free ride. there are kids 10x better than puffy's kid that deserve to go. i'm a bit disappointed that ucla is doing a usc move right here for publicity.

guitarjosh · 05-31-12 01:43 AM

He is getting a scholarship because of the money UCLA thinks he will bring to the school

tony_come · 05-31-12 02:37 AM

This kid will get hurt on the football field

During practice

The rich spend other peoples money.

Right wing blow hards have no problem with this waste and manipulation of taxpayer funds.

Yet they cry about how some broke lady living in a 1 bedroom section 8 apt complex gets $100 for food to eat.

No mention about crooks on wall street stealing daily.

How much is that facebook stock worth today?

Money talks and walks - how else could Al Gore and George W Bush get into Harvard with their super low GPAs. In a blind test, neither would be accepted. Back then most Harvard grads went to work for their dad's firm anyway.

All these movie stars in hollywood but California is in debt?

Do they pay their fair share in taxes?

Who Knows.

one word -- "Dr. Shaqweel O'Neal" ...

due to the animal interpretation of 'one word'.. Dr. Shaqweel O'Neal is actually one word

yeah it sucks that people think this spoiled little brat earned his way, his dad must be so proud of his kid getting a free ride being the richest kid in school taking a scholarship from someone that actually deserves it...

P diddy will probably have a charitable donation of at least 54k a year. Plus if the son is really good at football and very smart the school offers a merritt scholarship so they dont have to waste a football scholarship

GUMMO77 · 05-31-12 10:15 AM

Sorry I don't get the point here. There are plenty of white lacrosse players with rich daddy's getting full rides at Duke .. and other Ivy league schools.

thetrinity · 05-31-12 10:16 AM

i think the kid should have offered to walk on. they are tying up a scholarship on him who doesnt need it, which only hurts ucla football. this is a ucla football issue, not a political one, judging on how bad they suck, they need all the help they can get.

i'll repeat once again, ucla is a public school funded by broke ass california. duke and ivy league schools are private, they can do whatever the **** they want with their scholarships...
