[QUOTE="boger2337, post: 755147, member: 4089"] I mean I get it... but does an employer say.. oh man.. you have kids and a wife and a dog? ahh I won't fire you because you're not meeting numbers? The thought process that a student athlete is exempt from being an ADULT is mind blowing. They take the risk in going to a bigger program where they can easily be out worked. I have no sympathy for a kid that just doesn't have it. YOU HAVE TO EARN THE SCHOLARSHIP. Now of course the coaching staff should help the kids as much as they can, but if the kid isn't cutting it, and there is better value somewhere else. So be it. People get hired and fired every day. In this case they are living scott free. Free room and board, free food, free education. All of essential needs are met and then some. If for some reason your performance suffers then your scholarship should be on the line. Can't be giving these kids scholarships and saying if you make it you make it, either way what you did in high school is enough for you to earn a free ride in college. That is absurd. I know these ASU students weren't signed yet. And that is a thin rope to walk with Herman because it may put doubt in all recruits that they may get their offer pulled too. But overall I am all for the NCAA changing the rules and allowing programs to pull scholarships of underperforming athletes. [/QUOTE]
