do teams ever pull scholarships for student athletes that are in good academic sanding and have no off the field issues?

i think you would lose potential future recruits if you did things like that...

So if a non-schollie beats out a schollie, they wouldn't say "Hey nice try, but Bronson is our kicker now."  I don't know how all this works, but it seems silly to let Bronson go when he showed a lot of promise.  I hope benzer gets better if he ends up being our kicker.

It's not the pros...

If a college coach makes a scholarship committment to a kid because he believes in him and the kid embarks on an education, the school and coach should not disrupt that.

Having a former college baseball coach in the family, I was amazed at the number of "stand-up" coaches that would not and have not yanked a schollie because a player did not turn out to be as good as expected.  The few that had a rep for pulling schollies for the same reason had a different reputation in the business.

it works both ways. brandon baker was elevated to scholarship as a junior; justin geisler never got so lucky and finished as a walk-on. if the coaches thought that much of bronson (or teachey) they wouldn't have offered a high school senior a scholarship ahead of them. as for baker graduating, USF has already given that scholarship to Delbert Alvarado ...

Gotcha.  Thanks. Well, then I really hope Benzer puts in a lot of work in the off season and I wish Bronson well.  As long as we don't see him kicking a game-winner against us down the road. :)

It's unfortunate. Sometimes I think scholarships are given out too easily to incoming Freshman. Here is a kid that has proven himself, and is now being let go. I hope we don't tell CJL I told you so!!!

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
