recruit no good? still gotta keep him

Any business has the right to replace personnel that doesn't meet certain standards of performance, why should college football players be any different. JMO

The closest analogy is the professional athlete.  If he doesn't pan out, he doesn't play, but the team still has to pay his salary.  Alabama also still pays Mike Shula's salary, and he didn't pan out.

One thing the professional agent and Mike Shula have in common is a professional sports agent.

The H.S. kid doesn't have an agent -- he isn't ALLOWED to have one.  So you have a huge disparity in sophistication when comparing a H.S. kid versus a professional athlete.  You also have additional rules (restraints on trade) that prevent a H.S. kid from bargaining for his services.  The kid cannot say he will play for $300,000, at least not publically and in the open market.  So it isn't a negotiated agreement.  This isn't a free market economy.  The school makes millions of dollars every year on these kids, the least they can do is allow the kid to complete his education, even if he doesn't make the grade athletically.

 I am, honestly, surprised at the number of people who feel so strongly that a kid who commits to play sports at a college might be offered the chance to complete his college education, as part of the scholarship offer, even if he does not possess the athletic skill set needed or as initially evaluated.  All the rule is seeking to do is put the "student" back student athlete.

Have you not watched these young guys changing hats at their big "signing day" announcement. Now multiply that by all the players times all the days of the calendar. BTW, I missed that you were on the other side of this argument Catch. Sorry about calling you a FAGGOT.

Yeah, they can change hats all they want, until they sign on the bottom line.

No sense in even having a NSD. Just have the players run around the country, stadium to stadium, until the music stops... Everytime someone gets left out of the Sunday headlines, it will be off to another school. I know some may believe it will only be some isolated incidences, but that will quickly turn into a new school everytime a player isn't getting as much attention as he and his posse thinks he should. I hate to use the "slippery slope" cliche but...
