Tell me how many of your 'student-athletes' would be students if they weren't athletes?
Lets not pretend about any of this. $>true spirit
Putting guys on medical scholarships that aren't hurt. That's abuse pure and simple. The NCAA should come down on you guys, but won't. Bama has put more guys on medical scholarship than a lot of other teams combined over the past few years.
Saban does it because he wants to take the scholarship that he gave out back. Same reason why a lot of guys are cut. This isn't the nfl. Bama is one of the best teams around, but its doing a ****** thing for every other fan base and coach that doesn't play by those rules.
