Should Scholarships Be Awarded To The Rich???

Almost everyone knows who Sean Combs (puff daddy) is, and if you do not then you’ve been living in a box the last two decades.For you who do not know who Sean Combs is he is a hip hop mogul who has built an empire at bad boys records. He is one of the top producers, he has his own clothing line which was really popular in the early 2000′s which is Sean John. He also is the owner of one of the most popular alcohol beverages out right not called Ciroc.  Im sure he has his hand in many other projects and is pulling in major amount of money.Mr. Combs is probably the richest person in hip hop with his net worth being approximately 500 million dollars.

Sean combs has a son named Justin Combs who was recently awarded a football scholarship to play for the UCLA bruins. Recent reports have shown that many Californians are upset because of this. They believe that because his father is so rich that his sons scholarship should be revoked and his father should pay for him to attend UCLA. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I believe that stripping the kid of his scholarship because his dad is wealthy is ridiculous.

Every school throughout the nation has a limited amount of scholarships that they can hand out each year. The players they hand the scholarships to are the best players that they can find. For a player to be given a scholarship regardless of sport he or she has to put in countless amount of work. Obviously Justin Combs was a good enough athlete that the school offered him a scholarship, and nobody has the right to take what he earned away regardless of who his father is or how much money he makes. For those Californians and whoever else is upset by it, get over it because the kid deserved what was given to him. Leave the kid alone his father worked for the money he made, and the son earned his scholarship by performing both in school and on the field.
