Explaining D3 scholarship loopholes from @d1scholarship

The creator poses the question of whether D3 schools offer scholarships, then systematically breaks down the topic. He first establishes the official rule that they cannot offer athletic scholarships, then explains the primary legitimate method through academic merit aid. He then reveals a 'creative' loophole where some D3 schools offer academic money to recruited athletes who wouldn't otherwise qualify for it, effectively creating an athletic scholarship disguised as an academic one, and provides anecdotal evidence of large financial packages to support his claim.
