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.

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.
