And just to clarify it bit-
a free ride to a university (athletic scholarship) is about $30k a semester.



Much closer to $55k to $60k a semester. The medical insurance alone, no co-pays, full payment plan (no out of pocket expenses) that the scholarship athletes enjoy, is a cost prohibitive item to most students. That would come out of the walk-ons pocket. Ouch.

And again, if you're offering the guy 10x that to come to your school, they can roll that into the package.
It's not like you're gonna say "come to LSU and we'll give you half a mil in spending cash, a new car of your choice, and a good condo in an upscale complex", and if he wants the best health insurance you say "nope, too rich for my blood".
