63 Scholarships and Other Aid?

[grizindabox]

It's funny how everyone KNOWS a player who has gotten screwed by the coaching staff. Middle school, high school, college, it never changes. SOMEONE is ALWAYS getting screwed haha. There's ALWAYS a coach who's out to get a kid or a family, ect. HAHA. There's ALWAYS A conspiracy. It's NEVER, the kid isn't good enough or isn't getting it done on the field. Nope. never that. :mrgreen:

FFS Havegriz, I never said it was rare, nor did I say anything about a conspiracy. Kindly pull your head out and take a deep breath. It's just a tough deal for kids that had full rides, esp when they are told they should stay and play. I'm sure Mick has tough choices to make. It makes you wonder when a two or more year full ride gets the ax.

It shouldn't..if the kid is not pulling his weight and is buried on the depth chart it is not surprising.

Head coaches have to be very careful about pulling scholarships for reasons other than bad grades or "off the field" issues. It's a credibility issue for them. How do you recruit well if you're known as a coach that has too many non-renewed yearly scholarships? Many FBS coaches just
won't do it because of the "bad press". D2 and FCS coaches might have it a little different because there are less scholarships but it still needs to be used in extreme instances only IMO. Delaney, of all people, should know that his credibility can't afford many more hits.

Guess you are all about handouts and participation ribbons

I once saw CV enjoying a free juice box and orange wedges after a loss...just saying.

You haven't been to a Little League Game lately have you? Juice boxes and orange wedges will get a Team Mom fired these days. LOL

What are you talking about regarding Delaney's credibility? I have never heard or seen anyone question his credibility.

Scholarships are not guaranteed for the duration. They are renewable yearly. If someone is not seeing the field it is within the discretion of the staff to reduce the scholarship. It sucks, but it happens. Tough times call for tough choices. If it happened, I am sure that Mick agonized over it, but if the player was not seeing the field, they should not be overly surprised either.

Right you are grizatwork. It's gotta be tough.

is dellaserra still on the team?

 

[Buttegrizzle]

Technically yes. He just has to decide if he should / can continue without the schollie I guess. I suppose it's up to him entirely. He's a good student I hear. I hope he sticks out another season to see if he can get something the next year but I don't know anything about his plans. My kids jr high coach told us Jake was the meanest ( fiercest) player he had in 18 years!

Jake may have been our best special teams player last year and I'm sure it killed Mick to do it but even at the collegiate level it turns into a business. That being said, getting a year or two of free college is more than 90% of college students get. I'm not sure what his major is I'm sure that will weigh heavily in his decision to stay or go. I'm sure Coach Morrell at Tech would find some scholly money for him.

Sure doesn't look like he received a scholarship out of high school, or maybe they left him off the recruiting class on accident. Was he a full ride out of high school?

I was wondering the same thing....don't remember him being a "signee"...

I'm sure he just walked on, and was shocked when I heard he was on full ride now.

My guess is he was a partial that was reduced to walk on

 

[Buttegrizzle]

He may have been partial - not sure. I just was told he lost his scholarship. Maybe it was dangled last season and then they didn't end up giving to him?

That would be my guess also.

If he was a partial he would have been listed with recruiting class , IMO he was a walk on nothing more , maybe talk of earning more but hasn't done that .

Yeah I know that and agree he was a walk on out of HS that earned a partial scholarship last season.

That is my thinking as well.

Hammer, maybe you can clear this up, b/c this thread is murky to me. I heard around town that Dallaserra's scholly money was cut to zero but Mick's grandson is still receiving some scholly money. Please tell me that is not true.

I honestly don't know why this matters. I don't want to be critical of the line of thinking, but when it came down to it, they have been doing this for years at the UofM. Some kids have been flat out railroaded out of town by prior coaches, and it didn't seem to matter. Maybe because message boards weren't all the prevalent, or maybe more importantly those coaches seem to have won.

I don't know if any of what has been posted to be true, there are better people for this to answer, but before we summarily execute Delaney for this, maybe we give some time for the parties at hand to exercise their decision to speak on the matter.

I don't think anyone ever want to have their scholarship pulled, ever. Worst part of coaching college football, are these types of decisions, but for the love all the is holy lets not pretend Mick was the first guy to pull a Montana kids scholarship.
