This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I read it all. I didn't say anything about extra kids by gregmorrissey

Scholarship limits should remain exactly where they are currently. If schools can't afford the scholarships then they either do what Wisconsin did and let the kids know or they try to get creative with partial scholarships. Scholarships are one year renewable agreements. If they lose their scholarship but want to stay at the school then they can borrow or apply for financial aid just like every other student. Otherwise, they transfer to another school that might give them a scholarship, transfer to another school that is cheaper, or they drop out. Nobody really worries when this happens to a non-football player that might be on scholarship.

Is it going to be a change? Yes. Is it going to be messy? Yes. Are some kids going to get screwed? Yes. Happens all the time. To use a phrase that everyone here enjoys "Get used to it."
