Scholarships

[crazzymark]

As everyone here should know , scholarships aren't a four-year deal. It's a year by year almost day-by-day contract between the student athlete and the University. The university has the ability to pull that contract under any circumstance they find necessary based on the actions of the student-athlete.
That being said, I believe that the NCAA should also take in consideration that contract that is binding between the student-athlete and said University. The transfer portal rule which came out of the Rona need to be reviewed and put limitations or dates that they can be applied. As in the case of a UCF receiver, that been sidelined for a year and giving a full-ride scholarship after the spring game where he found out he was 100% decided to go into the portal. That undermines the coaching staff as well as the university about the flexibility of scholarships and how they use them.
I would like to see the portal be used properly and logically in respect to universities and coaching staffs in the future. As some of us have experienced, we had a lot of rules that we had to follow and Obey to maintain our scholarships. It is called respect. Seems to be lacking.

Since 2012, Universities are allowed to give multi-year scholarships. USC for example gives nothing but 4 year scholarships for WBB, MBB and football. It's entirely up the university to decide how long they want to guarantee a scholarship for.

Also calling it a day by day deal is very misleading. Coaches that take away a scholarship mid academic year is very rare and only happens under certain circumstances, such as Academics, legal, quit the team, etc.

I am pretty sure there are conferences that mandate 4 year scholarships.

If the athlete is getting a 4 year guaranteed scholarship, treat it like a contract and let there have to be mutual separation agreement to transfer in D1. 1 year scholarship and the athlete can be a free agent after a year.
