Ever since I read about Jahmere in high school, I've been a huge fan.

However, after watching that video I have some questions:

Where does the money come from for all of that?

You see the school, laptops for class, equipment, the CLOTHES the kids are wearing... If they're from such rough neighborhoods and there's no one else in the school paying tuition, where does all of the funding come from?

Alot of grade schools in the Northeast look like Millsaps or something. . Some of the nicest I've ever seen were on Massachusetts out in the boonies.

quote:

Tuition is $10,000, compared with $6,030 for National Connections Academy, and it's obvious why. Football programs are expensive, and Eastern Christian is not giving scholarships. Parents can help cover tuition by getting sponsors to buy $1,200 advertisements in the stadium and on Eastern Christian's web page, and Sills says he has partnered with a bank to provide families with 15-year loans.


So if I had to guess, David Sills spends most of his time finding sponsors for his athletes, donors, etc. Not all of those on the team looked like they were from rough neighborhoods.
