Because as was proven in previous posts there are NO such things as 4 year scholarships. They are RENEWED on a yearly basis at the coaches discretion. They CAN be reduced or increased. Stop saying you received a 4 year scholarship. They DO NOT exist. So far he has a 2 year scholarship.

Just because that's your experience does not make it accurate. I have several children playing or played D1 and I will tell you my experience. 2 have scholarships that are for 4 yrs. and believe me when I say several of their teammates retained their scholarship even though they were not able (for undisclosed reasons) to play. My others have scholarships that are literally renewable every year. Keep in mind, ALL ARE RENEWABLE, but not all coaches use the same criteria. And just to be clear, none of this has to do with academic or need $$.
