Yall know damn well this is "news" because he's black. How many white kids from well off families get scholarships but no one says anything?
Should Justin Combs (Puffy's son) give up his scholarship?

No because he worked for it. But since his pops is filthy rich he could help another kid out.
But like others said, because of who he is. Its questioned.

Why should he though?
I'm playing Devil's Advocate, but I'm in the mindset of "it's HIS money and he should do as he pleases."

I'm saying he *could.
Education is the best investment anyone can make in a young person. If P-Diddy doesn't want to help younger kids succeed, then so be it. Do what you want with your money.

Ivy leagues don't give athletic scholarships so I don't get the point.
I think he should. My guess is that it is more an ego thing than anything....So he can say he got a big time D1 scholarship for sports (probably some of desire for social status and just proving to himself that hardwork paid off). There have been plenty of examples of rich athletes who aren't nearly as well off giving up their scholarship for teammate who needed it. He obviously doesn't need to do anything and it doesn't make him a bad person but h doesn't have the character of many better men.
He could certainly endear himself to his team by giving it up to 1. someone who needed it financially 2. so the team could use it to be better. The only real risk would be thy used it on someone at his position but each year you run th risk of being recruited over anyways.

another thing to think about. at this stage in P Diddy's career don't you think he has contributed financially to many other people who come from less well off circumstances? Why the need to riff over this petty scholarship nonsense when he put up more dough for others?

This. Fame has more to do with it than money too.
Rich people get scholarships all the time.

Ivy league schools don't give athletic scholarships though.....and to get an academic scholarship to an ivy league school I'm pretty sure you need a perfect SAT and high as possible GPA

I played against him my senior year of high school (his junior year) and he didn't even start. Not saying he couldn't have had a breakout senior year to earn the scholarship, but chances are UCLA is doing it so that diddy will give back to the school. If u don't believe me, google the game film, he was nothing special then.

perhaps...but this is more about whether he is good enough to deserve the scholarship when his daddy can pay for it..Originally Posted by RIPyzyz

he doesn't have to give it back cuz that scholarship has nothing to do with your financial situation...
but if I was him and the team I would give up the scholarship to be able to add another player..helps the team get better for the season( and UCLA could use all the talent they can get lol)

He earned it just like every other kid with an athletic scholarship. Why would you take it away? Because his dad is rich?
I'm certain he's not the only one that comes from money that earns scholarships.

The kids that get the most sholarships come from well off families...
They have the luxury of having a stay at home parent that stays behind them and keep them on a straight path also they don't have to work and go to school like most of us so they have a higher chance of receiving better grades because of less distractions and they only have to worry about school.
