Says something about today's kids! While I'm not sure what he could have done with the scholarship since he already has a full scholarship, it speaks to what kind of person he is. I applaud him loudly.

Great gesture by this young man. Helping out his fellow classmates that way says a lot about his character.

Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but how does this not violate NCAA rules?
And it's an incredible gesture on the young man's part. :clap:

It wasn't cash money the kid was to receive, it was scholarship money which he dispersed amongst the other competitors...i think

It was an event open to ALL students who earned a 3.0 or better GPA, not just student athletes, therefore there was no reward for him being an athlete, just a good student. Kind of like fundraisers in high school. If the fundraiser is by an athletic organization only (football, basketball, volleyball, etc) and only student athletes can participate, it is a violation of the "rewards" rule for any participant to be rewarded with "valuable consideration". It has to be open to the entire student body or it is considered a reward for being an athlete.
