The folks at Rush The Court offer a great suggestion involving Connecticut players Andre Drummond and Michael Bradley, although Drummond won't be in Storrs for very long (definitely not five years):

"Sticking with Connecticut, remember that Michael Bradley kid — you know, the one who UConn took a scholarship from to give it to a basketball phenom who likely will be there for one year?  Yeah, that kid. He came out on the record Wednesday stating that he has since been given a financial aid package and that he was only one of several players who stepped forward for the good of the team when it became apparent that prep phenom Andre Drummond was prepared to enroll. Even UConn president Susan Herbst got into the act, saying that Bradley has been “taken care of.” The company line was apparently in full effect in Storrs on this day, but there’s one thing we absolutely want to see happen here — five years down the road when Drummond is off to the NBA and Bradley has moved on to whatever great things also await him, we truly hope that he receives a registered letter from his former teammate containing a certified check for the full amount of any student loan (plus interest) he might have taken out to make this happen. Drummond says that he and Bradley have a “great relationship” and are “really cool” with each other — well, if so, he’ll do the right thing and eventually pay the walk-on back in spades."

Talk about taking one for the team.
