Hmmm, if this means that the players have to stay at Bama for 4 years, there may be some sad coaches in the SEC.  ;)

"We're going to offer four-year scholarships," Saban said. "Our whole conference is going to do it, all the schools, I think.

"And we're happy to do it."

I'd rather offer one year per each star.  5-star players get 5 years.

I still would like to know what this means (if anything) for players who redshirt.   :dunno:

"Most of the conditions are still the same," [Saban] says. "The player will still have to be academically eligible. He will still have to obey team rules and regulations. And the player is still going to have the same rights and the same appeals process that he has now."

Saw the other topic first.  They should be merged.

Athletes should get the same kind of scholarship commitment from a university as a person there on academic scholarship.  No more.  No less.  I know the athletes have a lot extra on their plate but that's how I feel.  The world could live without sports, but doctors, teachers, etc...no way.

You are extending far more respect to the teaching profession than most would. Coaching is the only subgroup with some semblance of performance evaluation and ongoing training.
