Yes, bravo..great idea.  How hard would this be to put into the scholarships?
Especially in the basketball world (Iverson), and football.  Let these future
millionares who obviously aren't in the official alumni club (don't graduate)
who may or may not EVER give a red cent back to their schools....MAKE THEM
CONTRACTUALLY  repay their education if they DO NOT COMPLETE their degree in
a specified amount of time.
 
It seems like it would be legal and straight-forward, but maybe it isn't.
Could a school write their scholarship contracts that way?
