[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 761395, member: 2426"] Which hypocrisy? I would say it is more hypocritical for fans to expect players to stay committed for four to five years, while at the same time expecting to coaches to not have any commitment to players who don't live up to expectations. From a fans perspective if a player is good in college he should be required to stay with the team. If a player isn't as good as thought, his scholarship should be yanked for someone better. There are some schools at which historically a "commitment" really meant an opportunity to try out for the team. Until just a few years ago schools were not even allowed to offer multi-year scholarships. Every single NCAA scholarship was a one year renewable scholarship. Even after allowing multi-year scholarships I don't believe there are many schools that actually offer them. In my opinion, there are many reasons that a student-athlete might want to change schools. Not all of those are related to athletics. I don't think a student-athlete should be expected to be committed for a full four years unless the school is also committed to the student-athlete for four years. [/QUOTE]
