Turns out he is only worth $1.5M or so. Maybe not enough to pay his kids own way to make the team better. Still surprises me how many wealthy parents don't do it to make the team better.

I see what you are saying but that's like saying why does Lebron make $30MM a year when he could take the league minimum and make his team better. A lot of the time its because they can and because they deserve/earned it

MOST students parents at UGA are not worth that kind of money.
That said...you don't become wealthy by giving money away. If the kid gets a scholarship, you take it.

That's plenty to pay Elijah's tuition. Tuition in state is under $10k per semester. Probably closer to $7k.
But if his son earned the scholarship, why take that from him? It's a HUGE point of pride to be on a full scholarship.

Because scholarship athletes live a completely different lifestyle than walk-ons.
