Well. How about that. I supposed I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

Just a matter of time before he lands one of these. He's been applying for coaching jobs for a few years now.

With both the AD and Head Football Coach interviewing for higher level jobs, the slope is much steeper for getting back to the top of D3 football.

As I said, it is only anecdotal evidence, but the fact that St Thomas gives out financial aid is hardly news. When I went to college, I also got financial aid. I owed a grand total of $500 on student loans when I left. That isn't the question. The question is:

      Is it easier for poorer students, without good academic records, but with athletic talent, to attend a state school or a private school?

Ret,
In answer to your specific question, it seems logical that the answer is yes- it is easier.  I would imagine that's one of the main reasons state schools have significantly larger enrollments.   
However, if we ask your question more specifically (and how it would generally apply to building championship caliber teams) such as:  "Is it easier for a poorer student, without a good academic record, with Exceptional Athletic talent, to attend a state school or a private school?"- I would say it's a toss up.  The best athletes are individually targeted by the coaching staff to be recruited.  Those athletes, in their recruiting meetings with the coaches and parents, will certainly hear all about the financial support that the school can offer.  The financial package will be larger from a private school than it will be from a state school. 
That's how I see it anyway.

emma. There is a more selective process in admissions at private schools than at public schools. I've said before, that's not an indictment of public schools, it's just the recognition that state schools have a different goal than do private schools. I don't know why this is a bone of contention. State schools are tasked with providing higher education to the masses, so to speak. Private schools, because of their mission, and due to the fact that they can be more selective, and, some might argue, must be more selective, probably won't offer large financial aid to a great number of students with lesser academic records. By doing that, they limit the number of students who are eligible for admission. Sure, there will be instances where certain students who are not in the top 30% (just to pick a figure) will be admitted with nice financial aid packages, for other reasons, but those are the exceptions.

Again, I don't know why this is even challenged. All I'm saying is that the pool of students who could/would/are able to attend private colleges is smaller than the pool who can/would attend public universities.

That's correct, but that has little to do with athletic programs though.

[retagent]

Are you saying that there are no "dumb athletes?"

Since academic achievers can go to either, and those who (let's be politically correct here) haven't shown their potential yet are less likely to get into private colleges, none of the latter are athletes? Not sure I understand what you are saying.
