It's funny that these conversations keep coming up. The same people with all the same reasons/excuses. This problem is EXTREMELY simple.

 

Mr./Ms. Student Athlete - These are the rules, comply and we'll pay for your education. Don't comply, and suffer what ever consequence we deem appropriate. No, we don't care if you agree.

 

Your CHOICE.

let's not act like a rule needs to be broken in order to lose their scholarship. it's a one sided contract allowing a member school out of that contract for no reason at all.

 

student/athletes are "encouraged" to leave schools all the time.

the fact that the NCAA won't allow student athletes to be treated any differently than an ordinary student yet they expect them to be held to a much higher standard( by requiring random drug testing for one) is ridiculous.

 

it's odd that so many players get suspended for pot and yet so few get suspended for performance enhancing drugs. I'm sure college football is just as clean as the MLB

Here's the first line in a 23 page document;

 

  "THIS IS A CONTRACT. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS DO NOT USE THIS      SERVICE AND CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY TO TERMINATE IT."

 

Pretty simple, take it or leave it is the only option.

The way this thread derailed scared me.  No one is clear yet about what the kid was suspended for, right?

Lack of knowledge never stops a good 'penner from speculating wildly...
