This was also posted on TOS and some there suggested irrevocable four- or five-year scholarships as the primary solution to oversigning. I think it is naive solution that would actually make college football more corrupt, because it puts a lot of pressure on schools to make sure student-athletes are successful (as in football successful). Instead of a one-year investment, an SA becomes a long-term investment.
Imagine UGA signed Isaiah Crowell to a five-year irrevocable scholarship. Instead of sending him packing, they'd be bribing the police and having a body double go to class, while he's out driving around flicking people off like President Camacho. Meanwhile at Tech we would let students fail or get arrested and only have like 70 active scholarship players.
It is important that students be able to leave school for whatever reason (failing, transferring, family issues, etc.) Putting a huge disincentive on schools allowing players to leave school for legitimate reasons will not promote ethical behavior and will only punish the ethical.
No. You can't write a rule around the possibility that schools will break the law for a sport. Go back to no freshmen eligibility and make the scholarships a four year commitment. Then, when dumb thing like grade-fixing and other SEC/FSU-style hijinx take place, you simply take away scholarships.This was also posted on TOS and some there suggested irrevocable four- or five-year scholarships as the primary solution to oversigning.

I couldn't disagree more. The current system is what is so corrupt. The kids at factories have to show immediate success or they're jettisoned like an old shoe to free up space for the next prep fenom. If that ain't corrupt, I don't know what is.This was also posted on TOS and some there suggested irrevocable four- or five-year scholarships as the primary solution to oversigning.

Academic scholarships are performance-based why shouldn't athletic scholarships be?

They can be - if the kid flunks out, he loses his scholarship. The suggestion here is that the school doesn't get that scholarship back.

If a school gives an academic scholarship and the student gets poor grades they yank the scholarship. They don't keep it based on the schools initial perception that they should hace it.
You should have to keep proving yourself to keep your athletic scholarship the same way you would with an academic one.
Quit coddling adults. We'd never tolerate that with other students.
I'm fine with that as long as we allowed any student who got their scholarship yanked to transfer immediately without having to sit out a year. Otherwise we're putting them at a significant disadvantage, both in football and compared to other students.
If someone had an academic scholarship to Tech and lost it due to bad grades, we wouldn't make them sit out a year from their coursework if they wanted to transfer to Georgia State.
I'm fine with that too. The penalty fir transferring is absurd.
So, you'd be okay with Justin Thomas transferring to u[sic]ga to play corner next year after 2 years of learning our offense?
