Xavier center Matt Stainbrook is plenty talented enough to be on a basketball scholarship. However, he chose not to take a paid education from the school so that his brother, Tim, would be able to have one.
"For my MBA, I think it costs about $14,000 a year. For undergrad, which is what Tim's in, it's like ($43,000). So even with the scholarship for academics he was getting, which wasn't a ton, it's a lot more expensive. I was like, 'OK, I haven't had any student loans in the past four years. Tim has worked hard. It's not like the guy doesn't deserve it.' It made sense to me."
