Should a scholarship player get that scholarship revoked if they end up being a bust as a college player?


Question:
One example may be Damon Bailey who played for IU. Knight called him a disappointment.

Answer:
No. If he is still on the team, he gets the scholarship. If he is kicked off the team, at some point his scholarship is revoked.
Scholarships are for one year at a time. Basically a one year contract. So if a player proves himself not worthy, it could be revoked.

No college will revoke due to "not performing as well as we thought" though. If you did that, no other recruit would come to your school. But often people who get hurt get their athletic scholarship removed and replaced with a different kind so they don't take up a scholarship number. Other people do not get them renewed if they don't actually go out for the team.
No because you have to look at the real reason the person is there. They are student-athletes. The student comes first. Athlete comes second. It is very hard to balance the schedule out of a student athlete. I know this as I am a student athlete. Sometimes one or the other is going to suffer. For some its the student, for others its the athlete. They are there to be a student first and foremost so before you take away their scholarship lets think about this. This could be a person that cannot afford a college education. If you take away their athletic scholarship then you might be taking away their only chance to get a decent life with a college degree.
If he doesn't perform on the court, you shouldn't revoke his scholarship, especially if he performs well in the class! If you did that then you would tell him that its better to do well on the court than it is in the class!
No the scholarship can be revoked if the athlete fails his classes violates team/university rules. Technically the college players are amateurs but the sport generates cash like a professional league.
prolly not
As long as he remains on the team he gets the scholarship
