Agree with Hokie1's comments from a strictly baseball perspective.

I'll add a little cinical logic here. There is no penalty -- nothing lost -- for letting a kid go.

When a non-scholarship kid can't hack it you let him go with nothing lost. When a scholarship kid is let go you get his money to recruit.

You're kinda like the "hot guy/girl" at school. No matter how much you may be a "Playa" it doesn't matter who you "diss" cause someone else will lineup to take their place.

All that keeps this from happening is a CONSCIENCE and thank goodnes some schools have one.

I'm wondering how much the new "progress towards graduation" rule will effect this practice. Quite often it's upper classmen that are let go by schools. Now if they are on track to graduate with the new rule maybe they'll be less likely to be discarded.

Anyone know?
