Celebrity / Cordell Broadus Another Rapper's Kid Snags UCLA Football Scholarship This time Snoop Dogg's son, Cordell Broadus, is on the receiving end By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Jun 27, 2012 9:16 AM CDT Copied Snoop Dogg, wife Shante Taylor, and son Cordell arrive at the 2010 VH1 Do Something!

This time around Snoop Dogg's progeny, Cordell Broadus, is the lucky recipient, though Larry Brown Sports notes that to hear head coach Jim Mora tell it, he was unaware of the connection. Since Cordell is currently an incoming sophomore at Diamond Bar High School, E! notes, he'll have to wait a couple years before joining Sean Combs on the Bruins. Lindy West shares her idea on Jezebel: "It would behoove staggeringly rich scholarship recipients to make matching donations to need-based scholarship funds." (More Cordell Broadus stories.)
