Reply to "Scholarship Question"

I have zero perspective on how all of this works - that's one of the reasons why I view this forum. My question to @Smitty28 would be - How can a coach state the scholarship amount would remain the same in years 2-4 (or 5 if needed, as you mentioned)? I was under the impression that scholarship $$ needed to be earned every year.

College scholarships in most programs are renewable every year. If the player has done all that is required on and off the field, and if the coach has indicated so, there is no issue.

Unfortunetly, many programs over recruit, so I think that is why that 1 year deal has become popular. 

Many times the recruit and his family are so happy to find a home, they are afraid to ask questions. Some coaches wont make that commitment but you have a right to ask questions and decide if that's acceptable or not.

Also, many coaches will not give out 5th year unless player was injured. Discuss that during recruiting.
