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!

And of course it raises the questions about who is actually paying the kid's tuition.
