An incoming freshman won free tuition in the best way possible: sinking a half-court free throw in front of a crowd of his peers.
Ball State University knows how to put on a pep rally. To inspire support for the school’s teams, for the past three years administrators has offered a free semester of tuition to the first student who sinks a half-court shot at Worthen Arena.
