Message: [QUOTE="prankster, post: 4897093, member: 14"] I kind of disagree. I believe that there should be a mechanism by which the "non- productive" athlete can be dropped from the roster, and the team's athletic scholarship opened up for another player (freshman? transfer?). And then the "dropped" student-athlete be permitted to continue his or her education, the same as any other scholarship student. And that scholarship can be forfeit on the same basis as that of any other student (grades, class attendance, behavior issues, etc). I also feel that somehow the additional semesters/years spent on academic scholarship under this scenario should subtract from the now student/non- athlete's eligibility. Somewhat more complicated, but I do not believe that scholarship athletes should be completely disposable. Education should be foremost, at least as a proffer. [/QUOTE]
