In the case of a college football player at the Div 1 level, he has received a scholarship in return for the use of his physical abilities and participation. Inequities aside (that's another argument), he has been PRIOR AND FUTURE COMPENSATED and there is absolutely an expectation of effort and participation. Every player who signs those scholarship papers understands this fully and completely.

A few items of note:
1. Feel free to provide specific examples.
2. Feel free to compare and contrast numbers compared to other programs.
3. Feel free to eliminate players who transfer or quit because they didn't feel they were getting enough playing time.
Personally, I have seen Saban "cut" a couple players over the last few years who DID keep scholarships. But as we know, there are ways of keeping scholarships that do not count towards the 85. All universities play these numbers games. I think you'd be hard pressed to find much of a list of those processed out without reason or obligation, but that's just me. If you come up with a couple of names, we can certainly discuss.
