[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 755184, member: 198"] There is only a 1-year commitment associated with a scholarship offer unless specifically offered a 5-year scholarship. So, pretty much, morals and ethics have not been compromised. The vast majority of players stay at the school and maintain their scholarships. There is a small percentage of student-athletes that who cannot stay make it either academically or athletically. There's no reason the coach should be forced to continue supporting a student-athlete that isn't able to succeed. You wouldn't lambast the academic side of the student were to fail out because they couldn't handle the academic load. Why should it be different on the field? I'm all of offering 4/5 year scholarships, but if they don't, then there's nothing immoral or unethical about moving a kid along and off the athletic scholarship. Edit: And the rules prohibit dropping a kid for performance issues. While I disagree with this, I do understand why it's there. The guaranteed 4/5 year scholarship negates the need for that rule. I have long bee a proponent of 1-year scholarship offers come with an immediate play as a transfer. The 4/5 year scholarship transfer requires a mandatory loss of a year of eligibility. No waivers, no negotiations. Students know what they're getting, coaches know what they're getting. [/QUOTE]
