So, from 1957 - 1973 all NCAA sports scholarships were required to be 4-yr guaranteed deals. My understanding is that coaches pushed for the change to year-to-year scholarships because they felt they had no control over the athletes. So does anyone know how things worked back then in regards to some of the issues we're discussing?

Interestingly, I read an article on this subject last year and it was amazing how many NCAA athletes assumed that their scholarships already were 4-year deals. There were guys who didn't even get the clue from the yearly renewal paperwork.
