Question concerning IMG
IMG is very expensive. Obviously there are a number of athletes on scholarship. Who is paying for it?
I coach at a private school. And we do have athletes on tuition aid. But not anywhere near the amount of athletes that seem to be on scholarship at IMG. And IMG isn't old enough to have large old money endowments.
I'm sure there is an easy or obvious explanation but I don't know what it is.

International Management Group
Got it. Thanks
The tuition is roughly $73,000 or so per year. Give or take.
Started off as a boarding school for tennis and then golf prodigies. It has raised its games from there.
