Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion College Baker University - hired Jimmy May first coach

I have to agree with westfahl, Not many kids will be able to afford Baker. The financial aid letter had pell grant and other government grants listed which basically just goes to the poor. A middle class family would have to take out a huge amount of loans to send their kid to Baker. I think Baker will get the wealthier kids whose parents can afford to foot the bill and the kids who qualify for all of the grants and financial aid. Most middle class families will not be able to afford it even with academic and athletic scholorships. The financial aid letter had students taking out $7,000 in loans per year and this still came up $3ooo-$4000 short.Once the federal grants to low income students are removed it would be over $5000 short. I just think that there are a lot more affordable options out there that doesn't saddle kids with $50,000 worth of loans once they graduate. I think it's great that Kansas has added another 4year wrestling school, I just don't think the majority of the kids will benefit from it.
