    i get what you are saying, but he also is gonna bring a lot of publicity to the team and possibly some new recruits who wana play/roll with diddys son, plus a million shots of his daddy in the stands. 54000 is not a lot in the grand scheme of things anyways, even for a broke ass state.

    It was in his best interest to come to westwood.....wasn't going to play at usc ...since it was merit based it just make sense. Shyt millionaires collect social security ...should they stop collecting cause they rich?

    there are a bunch of rich kids on scholarship at UCLA so i am okay with it I guess. I dont know what kind of football player he is but if he cant play he wont get on the field and he is not using up a football scholarship so I dont see a damn thing wrong with it.

    Maybe you should do some research on California's current financial status.

    For starters, you absolutely need a full scholarship for a big time program to invest anything in you, otherwise at the first bump in the road, they'd bail. They'd have no commitment. From a football standpoint, it be retarded if he actually is deserving of a scholarship and said "Oh no, No thanks. My Dad is rich."

    But, apparently the kid is garbage??? How do we know this exactly?

    Its not about hate.

    Its about a double standard that the party you support cant admit to.

    hate is such a strong word.

    reasonable people who are worried about Cal financial health would 1st say STOP spending US Citizens tax money on illegals whom most could give 2 fuks about the USA - before castigating a kid who has worked hard to achieve

    U are trying to reason with gullible people who someday think they will be rich. The reality is that they will always dream of being the rich guy but always carry the water cooler for the rich guy.

    U are so fuking stupid so please stop trying to figure out what the 99 percent is trying to do. U have Jamie Dimon just blow 2 to 4 billion at JP Morgan Chase with risky bets and he is on the board of the NY fed which means he regulates himself and nobody can regulate him. It is corruption at its finest. That is what they are fighting about not fighting about successful people who don't game the system. What a fukin smuck. People who game the system love that they have jackasses like u to load their trunks full of cash. Go back to the birth certificate issue will ya. Then u and the other three idiots can talk about something u have in common.

    The rich spend other people's money? You mean like Obama's stimulus bill that did about jack squat? Like the money wasted on Solyndra and some other green energy businesses that went bust? You mean like Obama Care forcing people to buy health insurance? The left wingers love spending the people's money. You left wing morons think you can spend people's money better than they can.

    No mention of the money spent by the government on a useless war to "protect our freedoms"

    Where would Justin Combs be today with a father worth 500million?

    True, I have no problem with UCLA giving him a free ride, it's their money they can do what they want with it. And contrary to other posters' opinions, the State of California is not funding this...the athletic departments at these big schools fund their own scholarships through conference TV money, sponsorships etc. so that angle is irrelevant.

    My point is that how many other cornerbacks that are 5'9" 175lb with 1 int their senior year not named Combs get free rides to big D1 programs? Very few...they want the publicity and it is well worth the 200k to get him there.

    When did I say the Iraq war is a good one? Obama has caused more debt than any other president. Spend spend spend. That's all you Democrats know. Spend other people's money.
