What coach doesn't extend an athletic scholarship each year unless the kid has other issues on and off the field? That rarely happens I played with guys that got money for four years and didn't see the field at all but they were good teammates on and off the field. The coach really has to have a vendetta against the kid to take back his money. Plus the scholarships are budgeted and the coach knows how much money he has before he offers he doesn't rob Peter to pay Paul. Please tell me a story where a players scholarship was not renewed based soley on his playing ability. That rarely happens.
