Q: How do those players who come from “bad backgrounds” (your quote, not mine) afford to buck up thousands upon thousands of dollars for that Trinity education?
Before you give your predictable reply regarding how Trinity will provide financial aid to those in need (and you will), I would like to see the data as to how many of those Trinity players receiving financial aid also happen to be D1 athletes.
Then, of course, we’ll hear the tired diatribe as to how athletic performance is never under consideration when providing financial aid to certain players.
So, can you see why many, many people have an issue with these “select” teams that some private athletic departments are assembling? The statistical probability of some class 2 or 3 school “just so happening to have” a dozen FBS college football players on their squad is equal to throwing 50 quarters in the air and having them all land on one end. Interestingly enough, most class 2 and 3 schools haven’t seen that many D1 recruits in the entire history of their program.
So, yes. Trinity is the best class 3 team in the state, but it’s bogus, invalid and a plethora of bovine scat.
