I think thereโs a lot of misinformation on track scholarships. This is a good overview of how many there really are. Track isnโt football (85 scholarships) and most kids are on partials, even the All-Americans. There are also lots of walk-ons which isnโt a bad thing they are just

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock โNโ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry.
She does not get the credit she deserves.
โSister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 โ October 9, 1973) was an innovative gospel singer widely recognized today as the godmother of rock and roll.
Tharpe is the first known artist not only to use an electric guitar in gospel music but to give the instrument a melodic role as important as the voiceโs role.
During her musical bridges, Tharpe would give free reign to her formidable guitar playing talent, unfolding soaring melodic lines puncuated by deep chordal rips and the occasional jump and leg pump; in essence developing musical tropes in the 1930s that would later be adopted by rock and roll legends Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash.
Tharpeโs innovation was not always well-received, with traditionalists regularly criticizing and devaluing her innovation.
Despite these attempts to derail her career or persuade her to adopt traditional approaches to gospel music, Tharpe remained deeply rooted in her religious beliefs and values and used her unique musical style to bring gospel music to audiences who would never have otherwise listened to it. Tharpeโs contribution to the development of the rock and roll idiom was finally recognized in 2018, when she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

@fasc1nate It was designed by a mom named Debbie Elnatan. I donโt know why you used a picture from an ad instead of crediting the person who actually designed it. https://t.co/zyg5Ozt4Op
