I didn't work at all for an athletic scholly. I went to school for free on a National Merit scholarship. It worked out pretty well, because in the real world I don't have to worry about some pimply-faced 16 year old trying to sabotage me.
You talk a lot about being a D-1 athlete. Here's betting that your scholarship was:
1. Not in football or probably even basketball (ie. not in anything that anyone gives a rats ass about, especially not 20 years later)
2. Not in anything that impacts your career in a positive way to the extent that studying would have.
