Max Dean to PSU

If Brooks goes 197 Beard is out of luck. If Brooks goes 184 then Dean and Beard wrestle off for 197
According to the latest available data, PSU is only giving financial aid to 14 rostered wrestlers. Rutgers is at 18. Mizzou with 37!
This is only athletic scholarship money though, I believe, and doesn't take into account academic financial aid, ROTC, etc.

There’s loopholes everywhere. If he’s graduated from Cornell, I’m sure he’s academically eligible for some sort of money that the wrestling program won’t be charged for.
It's my understanding that most recruited athletes at Cornell enter through the Ag School, which has much lower standards than the regular school. In fact, it may be easier to get accepted there than many of our schools.
Cornell as understand is similar to the old Rutgers where you apply to one of several schools. The acceptance rate for the Ag school is the “easiest” but still only about 10% so it’s not as if they are taking kids with 750 SAT scores. If I recall a lot of RU athletes came in through Livingston which traditionally had a higher acceptance rate than Rutgers College.
My question is if there are kids who go prep at Finger Lakes CC for a year then get into the Ag school.

He considered an unrecruited walk on so he doesn't count towards any limits.
Yes they stack kids at Finger Lakes CC if they can't get in or need to work the roster. The two NJ kids who recently went to Cornell went to Finger Lakes CC 1st. It also doesn't hurt that their Regional Olympic training site is on Fingers Lakes CC campus.
Yes I heard the Dean family qualifies for grant in aid.🙄 Well come to think of it, who on psu's wrestling roster doesn't qualify? That's probably the easiest way to figure it out.
But RU (among many other schools) probably has similar ways to get kids in with financial aids/grants without the official scholly.
