The left attacks the rich kids for being rich and not working for anything because their rich daddy pays for it all and now attack them for working hard and EARNING a scholarship. They are lost in their world of hatred.

He was given a scholarship. Won't know if he earned it until his career is over.

He also received offers from Iowa, Illinois and West Virginia.

And if his dad had used his money to get his son into a good school, then everybody would be saying the only reason he's there is because of who his dad is. The kid can't win.

He earned it by putting in the work on and off the field in High school.

I would imagine its a wise investment in the future to have young Diddy enrolled as far as the university is concerned.
On another note UCLA is having a tough time attracting Blacks due to a law abolishing affirmative action based on race. He seems like the type of student schools trip over themselves recruiting.

Why are folks hating?

You can't win with that crowd. Hopefully he is learning a valuable lesson through this experience.

I'm sure he's used to the haters. Hell the private high school he went to in NY probably cost more than UCLA. Like you say we all know why he got in there right. LOL

Sigh, a top rated comment on yahoo:

Quote:
Diddy needs to talk to actor Denzel Washington who's son was offered a football scholarship as well but Denzel politely turned it down stating that he was blessed to have financial means to pay for his son's education and the scholarship instead was offered to a low income kid
This country is going to down the tubes.
