More On Baby QB
USC should be recovering from probation and scholarship reductions about the time the Baby Quarterback is scheduled to enroll. That said, these excerpts from today's story in the Wilmington News Journal probably bear repeating.
``To help students who can't afford to enroll, scholarships are available through the FOCAS Foundation, a program co-founded three years ago by David Sills IV, father of the 13-year-old phenom quarterback, who also is named David.
``The FOCAS Foundation -- which stands for Financially Obedient Christians Assisting Students -- is a privately funded financial aid program that, Dare said, provided assistance to approximately 60 students last year. It supplements the school's need-based financial aid program.''
``Sills also has left his mark on the school's campus. His commercial contracting company, Daystar Sills, built the Pusey Center gymnasium and upper school addition "through the bidding process for pay and profit" before Sills became more actively involved in athletics, he said.
``Since then, his company also has built a wrestling building, Lions Stadium and a football practice field. Sills called those projects personal donations to the school that were carried out in conjunction with other individuals and companies who donated time, materials and money.''
hmmm...so FOKAS will help obedient Christians? how about agnostics? sounds exclusive to me.
looks like big daddy Warbucks is paving the way for the Baby QB, that's for sure.
after reading the above, there is no doubt the Baby QB is solid Southern Cal material! good luck, little Baby QB!!
serious question... is this baby qb thing serious, or is this just to keep the big time donor happy?
Whenever UCLA decides to rename Pauley Pavilion...they should give serious consideration to borrowing the name of that gym built by Daystar Sills.
Wait a second....Daystar Sills built a new gymnasium for the school, and somebody thought it was a GOOD idea to call it The Pusey Center?
