quote:COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier upset high school coaches in his new homestate when he revoked the scholarships of six players recruited by his predecessor.
The South Carolina Football Coaches Association's Board of Directors called the move ''unethical'' in a letter to Spurrier on Wednesday.
''We understand athletic scholarships are a year commitment,'' according to the board's letter. ''However, we feel that unless an athlete 'breaks rules' or embarrasses the institution, to revoke a scholarship because you feel an athlete cannot play at the level needed to compete in the Southeastern Conference is unethical.''
