And I'm sure they'll find nothing...
not sure i understand how the principal or headmaster have any right to speak of a student's academic plans/challenges to a reporter? it sounds like they are doing what's best for the kid, but there's no need to talk to the press.
It indicates that he may not quality "for a scholarship." Can a player who fails to meet qualifications still walk-on?
Great question. Another thought, could you imagine trying to motivate a student like that, who in 2 years will be a multi millionaire? I can remember a kid in my class not studying because he knew he was going into his family's plumbing business!
