Does Fran have the money to avoid the talk?

Sure, the coaches can have the talk with the kid and nudge them out the door. But if the kid doesn't want to go, do we have a budget to just put the kid on a non-fb scholie and free up roster space if needed? I wonder.

Each case is unique, Scholarships are renewed annually, kids can transfer just as easily as teams can pull scholarships. You don't want to push too many out with a cold heart but players want to play and contribute and you can help them find other options down the ladder so the player plays and continues to further their education. Players don't want to be unwanted and knows they can't play college football forever. Fran Brown and staff have hundreds of connections each. Academically minded players can also connect with non fb schollies to fill out a semester or year for a few, but most players want to play and just not only go to school. Kids also want the truth no matter how hard it is. They want to know where they stand. Pushing players out right after you recruited them for a 'better' player not only shows you to be a shallow person and hypocritical but news will spread so no one wants to play for you, and is a major indictment on your skills as a talent identifier and a man of your word as a developer of players and young men. That will come crashing down on your program and reputation and ruin your program faster than you can say DART.
Fran Brown will be hard, fair and honest knowing he has to balance ethics with cold hard business.
It's tricky sometimes but when you hold firm to some basic truths about honesty and respect it all settles out in the end.

How many cases like this could there be?

I'm sure the school and the athletic department could work something out for the limited, if any, instances of this.

Scholarships are not annual any longer in the power conferences.

They’re guaranteed for four years.

If you have the talk and the student doesn’t leave, you have to honor their scholarship

Unsure you can replace a FB scholarship with another one, absent medical reasons.

I could be wrong, but I think honoring scholarships for players removed from the football roster falls under a one year exception by-law for new HCs.

Thats what I was wondering. You have to pay for school. Does it have to be a FB scholie?
