FWBVol: If the four-year scholarships become the norm my question is what happens if a kid like Tyler Bray decides to go to the NFL after his junior year? The contract works both ways. Would Bray owe UT money for not living up to his four-year committment? Could a school like UT sue for damages when they were counting on Bray to be the starting quarterback his senior year and recruited with that in mind and then Bray breaks the oontract? ................................................. A scholarship is not a contract. If any kid chooses to return a scholarship prior to completion, there is no penalty. If a student on academic 4 year scholarship finishes their degree in 3 years, are you going to expect them to stay an extra year? No. And you folks who think it is ok to process out a kid because he doesn't "pan out" are just as bad as lil nicky saban.
