08:19 AM ET 05.31 | Does the surname ring a bell? Justin Combs has yet to play in a UCLA football game, but he's already on the receiving end of some controversy. The university responded Wednesday to criticism of its decision to grant a $54,000 full athletic scholarship to the son of rap mogul Sean (Diddy) Combs. He'll don a blue and gold jersey for the Pac-12 Bruins this fall. UCLA said the merit-based athletic scholarship was separate from the school's need-based financial aid program and didn't include a dime of taxpayer funds. ... Schools routinely use athletic scholarships as a recruiting tool, and the 5-foot-9, 175-pound defensive back from Iona Prep in New Rochelle had competing offers from other Division I schools.

Oh please, let the boy live his life. He is achieving something on his own without using his father's money and people have a problem with that?

As a school administrator I had a lot of ethnic minority students that were denied many, many academic scholarships because their parents income was too high. Same as white students.
It seems athletic scholarships are the least prejudice of all. They don't care what your ethnicity is or whether your father makes a lot of money or not. If you can play and play well, we'll give you a scholly. JMO

5-9/175 seens pretty far on the small side of things though. Not sure its all merit here.

I'm not sure how accurate either is and am no way saying he is as good, but ESPN lists Tyranne Matthieu as exactly this size.

Even if he is a borderline athlete, if it draws some 4* who wants to hang with Diddy's kid, how is that different than Mizzou already promising DGB's younger brother a scholly
