BOL Round Table

if any institution is for the student athlete's future then they should keep the incentive in place to keep hiiting the requirements laid before them each year. If the multi year scholarships go into effect then there is no incentive for the student athlete to strive to be better than the next athlete "cause he already got his" ... so in essence your auburn friend is for complacency

Auburn doesn't have to worry about hitting the 85 limit when they routinely have players getting kicked off for felonies.

yeah i dont know why this is so "morally gratifying" for barners. Its like an academic schollie...you dont keep it for 4 years, you have to maintain GPA performance...In football i have never heard of someones schollie not being renewed, unless it involved academic failure or misconduct. barner's will tout this because it is anti alabama, but in reality it is a smoke screen because we have the highest graduation rate behind stanford and Georgia Tech i think...but we dont care about academics only football, right?

curve ball is 4 year scholarships were done away with by the NCAA years ago. Too many football athletes were abusing the scholarship. Off the field trouble/academic failure and still having the Universities paying their full ride. It stuck teams with the long end of a 50k per athlete stick. Not to mention the fact it was abused to oversign b/c there was no cap on how many kids you signed a year.

A multi-year scholarship can be revoked for the same reasons a single year scholarship is renewed. The NCAA did away with multi-year to prevent student-athletes from abusing the privilege and not being able to lose scholarship. The NCAA was threatened with law suit (their apparent ultimate fear) for revocations, and moved to eliminate the extneded scholarship. So the multi-years will have so many specific breach clauses they will be meaningless and an administrative/legal nightmare.
