Should be that way for any kid getting a free education on our tax dollars. If they take NIL money they should have to pay for their own school.
FWIW, most scholarships are privately funded. The few that aren't are academic scholarships, like the National Merit Scholars program (and that's one where the school basically eats the costs for the student, so it's more of an unfunded mandate).

So your saying "most" athletic scholarships are privately funded? Please share where you got this information. From what Ive seen they are as you mentioned "eaten by the school"...but subsidized by our tax money.

What I said was "most scholarships," not just athletic scholarships, but athletics, at least at OU, is self-funded, they're not funded out of state appropriations (which, per the FY24 budget, accounts for about 12% of the University's budget). As to where I got the information, when you work somewhere for 25 years, you learn things about how the place works...
