I hope Joe Paterno apologized for his role in the coverup before he died

55. ok

1) The cost of a 4 year degree might be 80,000 dollars, but again and hopefully for the last time, players don't get 4 year scholarships. They get 1 year scholarships renewed at the school's discretion every year. Very few players in D-1 football reach 4 years. In essence, its the dangling carrot nobody ever reaches.

Then give me a percentage of athletes playing college ball that don't make it the full 4 years? You keep saying this without any percentages...just because you say it don't make it true?

2) Normally you would be correct. However the injury rate in football is higher than what you would find in other sports. The risk of losing your "job" or scholarship to injury playing football is far higher than in other sports. Secondly, this isn't the corporate world. It's college. If it were a job they would be paid. In addition it is absolutely possible and perfectly legal for a student to lose his football scholarship despite being in good academic standing with the school. If the play on the field doesn't measure up to very subjective standards, the player loses his scholarship. Or more correctly, the scholarship is simply not "renewed" the following year.

Again---show me the percentages of this happening. What do you mean by play on the field? You first stated if you lose your starting job you could lose your scholarship---that's what you said. I debunked that pretty easily with the 2nd or 3rd string and practice squad scenario.... Define poor play--- is that being so bad you can't be a back-up?

Source material? You're fucking funny---you haven't provided any source material and keep re-framing every time I debunk your goofy shit.

My source material is friends of mine who were college athletes--- women and men... all with 4 year degrees obtained through athletic scholarships.
