These players have let it be known that college football is a business decision for them. We?ve had 2 try to sign with our arch rival in the last month and another 4 year starter leave for another conference foe. We need to look out for MSU. The days of loyalty are gone on both sides of the aisle. If they want it to be all about business I?m happy to oblige them.
I remember reading an article several years ago about how Saban processed players in the fall just before the season started so that those players were left with the delimma of lose your scholarship for at least a year and hope you can transfer later or stay at bama on some medical leave type scholarship and just no longer be a football player.

So my real question is, if we process players, do they have the option of staying on some type of scholarship? The players being processed are not your future NFL guys so their future income is dependent on them being able to afford to stay in school and get their degree. If we can process them and still guarantee them some scholarship, then I say process away.
