Ad Disclosure
By now, you’ve probably seen a bunch of them.
Official scholarships to 2017 recruits could officially be sent at the start of August. That means that we — most of us who never sniffed an athletic scholarship — got to see what one of those offers looks like.
Some teams go way in depth about every specific cost a scholarship covers. Others, like Maryland and Penn State, present it like a diploma.
Every B1G school has a different way of saying, “Welcome. Here’s your ticket to go to school for free and play football for us.” Who does it the best?
