Clarification on Slive's full cost of education proposal

Brent you brought up SEC commish Mike Slive's proposal for "full cost of education." What Slive wants to do is guarantee a full scholarship for 4 years to every player that signs with an SEC school, rather than a one year renewal. Here is Spurrier's thoughts on the subject:

"Well he said something about multi year scholarships? Nah, nah, I think one year renewables are the way to go just because if a young man signs a scholarship and he decides he doesn't wanna give much effort. Don't wanna go to weight lifting. How do you get rid of him? He's got a 3 year deal. So anyway, we sorta like the one year renewables, us coaches."

"And what was his other one about academics, making it tougher? I think its tough enough. So, I pretty much disagreed with everything he said!"

*Roar of laughter from the crowd*

I agree with all of what he said. Any coach that agrees that academics should be raised to a higher standard should be fired IMO. Who gives a shit about academics?
