I was wondering what happens when a kid is given a scholarship for baseball and attends during fall semester. Lets for example say he is getting 25% scholarship at State U where full tuition/room/board is $20,000 per year. State U has a history of over recruiting and the kid in our example had a bad fall and coaches have told him he won't be on travel roster and should transfer to JC. The kid leaves State U at the end of fall semester.
What happens with scholarship money? My guess is that the program would keep $2,500 of the offered $5,000 {25% of $20,000}. Would this credit than help to balance any over recruiting to get school back in line with 11.7? Is routinely done to balance books after having brought in large recruiting class?
Thanks in advance
