I think the more interesting part of this story is how she handles the time she has left - she wished for the cancer to go away at least temporarily and it did. Now she has to make some really heartbreaking decisions for her and her family.
I think this is very cool. For as much flack as Stan Lee gets, he and Kirby really did have a knack for coming up with original, enduring characters. I wish the Spiderman movies had bothered to include the webshooters in the story, instead of what they ended up using.
Scholarships is the key word here. A lot of people don't realize how much money schools have riding on the success of their sports teams, even further down at the Div. III level. Like I said, this would be totally cool in a friendly backyard game; but this was an officially sanctioned NCAA sporting event, being tracked on both sides for purposes of deciding how much money to allocate to these athletic departments. Fraud is fraud, friendly or not.
This is why women's sports are never televised. It reminds me of an episode of King of the Hill, when some guy who set a high school football record the honest way finds out some kid is going to break his record by being carried into the endzone, with the opponents standing aside.
It defeats the whole purpose of keeping score in a game. If this was just some backyard game, that'd be cool.
Reminds me of the video of the guy handling a ball of fire, saying it was completely safe... and not mentioning that his hands were coated in fire retardant.
They all laughed at me when I said a professional wrestler could be elected as governor of Minnesota. They'll stop laughing when they feel the wrath of *this* governing body!

(I wish I was making that up... the packaging was more graphic than this one)
