I have noticed that there are as a general rule very few Seniors on College rosters and still very few, as a percentage, get drafted and sign in the majors. So I was wondering, is it common for a college program to cut loose a "average" player after his junior year to make room for new players to the program ???
If a player is being used sparringly, and can see that during or after his sophmore year that the situation is probably not going to change, what are the players options as far as transfering.
It seems to me, that the college has the upper hand. For instance, a player could be told at the end of May, late spring, even July or August, that his athletic scholarship will not be renewed. Which of course would leave the player with zero to few possible options to make other arrangements.
So, if a player is able to see this situation coming after the fall of his sophmore year, knows he is not going to get playing time & faces the possibility of getting cut, what are the players options for transferring (assuming other colleges are still interested). And does this happen enough to be concerned with ???
