Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2169859, member: 7511"] Yes, you are absolutely correct. But the reality is that other than if a player loses their eligibility due to academic issues, stops attending practice for some reason, or is determined to have done something illegal, unethical or immoral, scholarships are seldom rescinded just because a player isn't good enough to earn regular pt. Furthermore, in order to rescind a scholarship, a school is required to provide written notice to an athlete, with the additional requirement that the athlete can request a hearing before a university board of review. As I had indicated such an action would be a public relations nightmare for a school, particularly if a jilted athlete showed up at the hearing with her parents, a lawyer and every letter, text and voicemail ever received from the head coach indicating how much the school wanted little Suzy Basketball and how great she was going to be at Two-faced University. WBB has 15 scholarships. If a school recruits one or two players that just don't have the ability to contribute on the court, but they work hard and are good teammates, why not keep them around the program? [/QUOTE]
