    So with these new rules, how do you drop players who can't throw strikes?

    That is a very good question. Also can you do it actually in the middle of a game and get someone from the stands if they are a college age student?

    That's one reason why I think that rule is stupid. The player should have to hold up their end of the deal by performing at a reasonably high level.

    But to answer your question all we can do is tell them they won't play and then hope the player transfers out or quits on their own.

    But you could reduce their scholly down to the minimum level or is it set when they sign originally?

    I suppose so in some cases however the NCAA requires a certain amount of players on the roster be at a certain amount of baseball scholarship money and it gets spread out pretty quickly. So unless a guy is getting more than the minimum I think the coach's hands are tied.

    That is what Goff got in trouble for or did he just plain take the scholarships away?

    I believe he got in trouble for completely removing the scholarship on 10 players.

    From what I understand he told certain players that they were getting cut and he was giving their scholarships to "his" recruits. Parents of the players complained. Byrne told him he couldn't do that because it was against the rules. He did it or tried to do it anyway and Byrne fired him.

    Had he told them that they wouldn't play next year and the players left on their own it would have been different. At least I the eyes of the rule.

    He also allegedly misappropriated some baseball funds too.

    In other words, he played a dangerous game of chicken with the Ninja and lost.

    Ahhh, gotcha. What if they are pussies and say that's okay with me I don't mind being a bench warmer. This is just hypothetical not saying any of our players are but that would be the flaw of this everyone gets a trophy rule. This has to have been done because of Saban. Thanks asshat Saban!

    Then I guess we're stuck with them. And that is yet another reason why I don't like the rule.

    Lol, that's what I thought. Could you imagine some of those old school coaches like say the Bear having to abide by that rule? Hell he damn near killed some of the Junction boys.

    It's just a different day and age. I do think Bear was probably too tough on the Junction boys. At the same time not allowing a coach to manage their roster is too soft. There needs to be a happy medium.

    If I was on an academic scholarship and I made a bunch of C's and D's I would lose the scholarship. I think an athlete that is not performing should fall under the same criteria relative to sports.
