They need someone bad. Mens tennis has been disappointing the last two years.

I'm not familiar with this term they used in the announcement:

Quote:the Owls have signed Trinity Grear of Adelphi, Maryland to a grant-in-aid to join the Owls for the 2020-21 season

Is grant-in-aid the same as a scholarship, or something different? Possibly related to the Rice Investment?

From a performance standpoint, Trinity looks like a good addition. His UTR is 12.28, which puts him in competition for the starting lineup as a freshman. And he should continue to improve as he matures. Here's how he'd fit in with the the top 6 starters today:

• Sumit Sarkar: 13.44
• Karol Paluch: 12.69
• Campbell Salmon: 12.66
• Trinity Grear: 12.28
• Mohamed Abdelrahim: 12.26
• Wesley Barnett: 12.22
• Conrad Russell: 12.20

Scholarship. Term from the 1950s and 1960s. Haven't heard it used in a long time.

If the University of Arizona is up to date, it's the term still used in the NCAA bylaws.

I think that is correct. But the general public has just adopted the term scholarship.
