Yes, and BYU has limited his options by pulling a scholarship in April.

Again, to say there is NOTHING wrong with this is asinine. It's a bad look for BYU. AAU coaches, connections, entire regions can be shut down if a team like BYU gets this reputation. It happened to Dave Rice and UNLV. The Baltimore and Canada connections were completely obliterated towards the end of coach Rice's years at UNLV. Teams like BYU and UNLV can't afford to be seen as teams who run freshmen out the door.

Beo response to the Harmon article.

4/18/17 3:18pm

Expected more? BYU did of him too. Also, His schollie was a 1=year commitment, so BYU met it.

4/18/17 3:20pm

I disagree that "there is nothing wrong with it".

I disagree that there is "nothing wrong with it." It is common, but common

reagan21

HACK!

reagan21

4/18/17 3:24pm

So there is no accountability on the player for his performance?

jigidajrit

4/18/17 3:26pm

That's quite the logic leap from "nothing wrong with it". It's not all or nothin

Lance71

4/18/17 3:29pm

That's fair. Just noticed that you two were disagreeing with

Some schools are moving to the 4 year guaranteed scholorship i.e. USC

Do you think that accurately depicts Beo? No way. By your standard

I wish there were more scholarships available

NOMINATED!!

The power conferences no longer pull scholarships for performance issues.

Everyman

Or, he can stay in school and pay his own way to graduate like 98% of the rest of the student body,

4/18/17 3:31pm

No. It sucks. There is something wrong with it, and it shows freshmen

reagan21

4/18/17 3:34pm

It is a 1-year offer. He got his 1 year. THe next was not renewed per the contract.

4/18/17 3:38pm

We don't really know that's the case.

Lance71

4/18/17 3:39pm

What in that statement is unknown?

We don't know if he is being offered to stay on the team as a walk on.

4/18/17 3:43pm

You do realize April is when this happens for hoops right? After the season is over.

4/18/17 3:48pm

you do realize that AAU coaches will pawn lower level kids on coaches for

So because UNLV kept that kid even through a string of run ins with the law, it means BYU

Probably. It's part of the recruiting game.

This isnt football

Shteve

4/18/17 3:47pm

Doesn't have to be. It is that way for all NCAA sports. Unless the school offers says 4-years. Most are 1 year.

4/18/17 3:51pm

Referring to FCS, not scholarships. Yes, all scholarships are 1 yr.

Shteve

4/18/17 3:57pm

What a load.

What if the athlete was not offered a scholarship and came as a walk on. Due to circumstances

What do school do with Academic Scholarships that do not

pappabear246

Or the school simply runs out of scholarships. The line has to be drawn some place.

Depends on the scholarship situation. He came as a walk-on. Thought he was used way more than expected.

More than usual for BYU recently, but in normal amounts for most programs.

It's really tough when you were really a preferred walk-on all along

He was a level-headed player who didn't make many mistakes.

The sad thing is that it's only a business for the school not for the kids

Not only is this common for D1 sports ... it's common for schollies PERIOD.

The tough thing here is that we will probably never see the other side of the story.

He should still be on the roster even if he's not on scholarship. I don't have

ayfan

4/18/17 3:32pm

my bet, he was offered to go back to walk-on status and felt slighted by that.

Was he given the chance to play as a walk-on next year?

Kaufusi is a football schollie, not hoops, per NCAA rules.

True. Switch in Davis leaving too and you get to the same place in terms of
