I know he played basketball and this has nothing to do with football but could this eventually effect EA and college football?

I'm really getting tired of people like this.. but I can't do anything.

Get a life Bobby Maze. Sorry your basketball career never evolved. Boo freaking hoo.

Be grateful you got an athletic scholarship (one year that is renewal). You don't run the show, the big boys do.

And this notion that a one-year renewable scholarship is unfair is nonsense. The one-year deal is to keep kids from being lazy and feeling entitled. Believe me, I saw it with my own eyes as a Division II student-athlete. However, there are obvious circumstances where I think the scholarship should be honored for four years (career ending serious injury).

I hear you brother. I'm so tired of these guys *****(female dog)ing when they got to go to school free and play the game they love. I played at a NCCAA school where players played because they love the game. We didn't get a thing and my school cost $15k a year. It is getting old all these guys who could not have a career beyond the court or field suing. It is not the SEC, NCAA, or some video game company's fault you didn't get a better degree so you can have a job. I think ever scholarship should be year to year. That would force guys to work hard and stop feeling like they are owed something.

Wow. You guys must think practices and games are nothing?

I hate paid interns who can hold a job while maintaining a scholarship. Damn handouts. Making money for another company as some other company or trust pays their tuition.

I also hate those parents who pay their kids tuition. While the kids drink beer, sleep in late and flunk out.

Entitled weenies. Parents paying for their college....or helping them out. What kind of society lets these people succeed.....

Why shouldn't they be able to accept a scholarship for one year from any school? So as long as they were offered a scholarship they could go to a different school every year if the school didn't meet the players specifications......they can't do that because it is about money and sports.....not education.

How is any of that relevant to the topic at hand?
