The university states "
The decision to cancel, reduce or renew a student-athlete’s scholarship award is within the purview and discretion of a coach."  But that's not fair.  Kids who are offered a scholarship, indeed a full scholarship, believe that they're set for four years.  They make a big commitment to the university, one that has enormous impact on their lives.

This may be legal at the moment, but it is disruptive, mean-spirited, and unfair.  Universities should be required to guarantee scholarships for four years, to be cancelled only in extreme situations regarding the commission of a crime or the athletes' decision not to compete on the team any longer.  And maybe even that is not right.

It's just unfair.  Wonder where the other six athletes are?  The TV report mentioned that ten were terminated.  And let's be clear that that means that if they don't have the cash within their families, they are being thrown out of the university.  Are these kids from poor communities?

Something's wrong here.
