To put it another (potentially more controversial) way, are colleges essentially fixing the price of what they give athletes for their services?
Yes, yes they are and they're damn smart for doing it
There’s no college coach telling players out on the recruiting trail that they’ll get a one-year scholarship and, with good luck, they’ll have it renewed
I bet Sadler is all, "you know this scholarship is only for 1 year, and if you redshirt and work really hard you'll get your chance next year"

it'll be interesting to see what happens
