There are a number of things you could say about Justin Combs, a celebrity’s son who plans to attend UCLA on a football scholarship.
You could say that he graduated from upstate New York’s prestigious Iona Prep with a 3.75 GPA. You could mention that he headed the school’s African American Society. You could point out that he turned down scholarships from Illinois, Virginia and Wyoming.
Or you could be like Los Angeles Times reporter Kate Mather, who opened her story in Friday’s paper like this: “When Justin Combs turned 16, his father, hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, gave him a $360,000 silver Maybach.”
Apparently a school isn’t supposed to award an athletic scholarship to a student whose father has a net worth around $550 million. Critics of UCLA and Diddy blew up the Internet this week, saying that Justin Combs shouldn’t receive a scholarship and/or his family shouldn’t accept it.
