I was thinking: If a school gives you a scholarship for 4 years, but then you don't graduate (like Holzinger, Knuble, etc.) do you think that you should have to pay at least part of it back? It seems that more and more people are using college sports as a platform into the pros.. Espcially for Basketball and Football. Colleges are their minors. Hockey isn't so bad -- a few juniors leave and the promising ones leave after their senior season ends. STill, yes, at places like Michigan the normal tuition paying students dont' pay for athletic scholarships, but they are using facilities, instructors, and TAs. And, for most of them, paying back their college education by not graduating would be a drop in the bucket -- for soemone like Webber, $15,000 would be nothing, but for maybe someone like Knuble, who might only earn $300k playing with the red wings, $25,000 is more siginficant, and enough to maybe keep pro teams from pressuring students from turning pro early. I have afeeling my stance will be unpopular, though.. ): --- Eric Rickin ([log in to unmask]) University of Michigan Class of (December) 1995 finger -l [log in to unmask] for PGP Public Key Homepage: http://www.umich.edu/~erickin
