This is true, however, the administration decides after the 3rd party has qualified all applications. For example, Father Ryan lost an athlete when a competing school was able to cover more money that allowed the student to pay for books. Cory Harris does a good job of identifying targets but Ryan needs to pull at least 8 a year to make a difference. This would also keep others from the feeding system more inclined to go to Ryan as well. Ryan has far more students on financial aid than any other Div 2 2a school.
