That's a novel idea, but then schools would have to give four year scholarships. Scholarships are for only one year and renewable and redone every year. It is very rare that college athletes have fully paid scholarships. So, if we are going to require kids to stay in school, let's change the rules on the colleges that requires them to fully pay a college athletes education 100% and not allow colleges to change the amounts from year to year.

Dude....do have any clue what you're talking about.

We are talking about BASKETBALL and in almost ALL cases, players are giving FULL scholarships.

In football....those 85 guys are given FULL scholarships.

Which means

Full tuition
Room and board (if they live off campus they get a check every month)
ALL MEALS (if they live off campus they get a check)
BOOKS
When they are required to practice (during xmas and other breaks) and the school cafeteria closes, they are given checks for their food.
MOST will receive a clothing allowance of $500 per year (once again, check that they pick up at the begining of fall classes)
Along with ALL athletic gear (all of the sweatsuites, t-shirts, shoes and shorts you could ever want).

Now....baseball, track and field, and various other sports (tennis and hockey) are different.

But the BIG sports that we follow all give FULL rides.
