I don't pretend to know any details about how this works, but I know that all I hear about is how school X or Y has such a huge advantage with giving out scholarships.

Nobody ever talks about how much a player would owe after all the aid money is applied. Isn't that really all that matters? I know State is a very good value. While we don't have any of those so-called advantages, I'd say most of those schools have higher tuition and living costs that negates at least some of that advantage.
