I can see how at the lower levels, where there's far less oversight because of how small a staff is, that something like that could easily happen when you have people trying to climb the ladder and willing to do anything.
Although, D-III doesn't have scholarships, so I'm not sure why that would ever happen aside from a person just being a jerk and not getting along with the player? Makes no sense and the coach should probably be fired for that.
But Big Ten, Wisconsin... that's my point. The SEC "Grayshirts" kids. The reason the big schools can do crap like that is because the financial disparity based on conference TV dollars (and subsequent conference expansion) creates the have/have not situation where kids put up with way more than they should to go play at the school that's on TV, instead of going to the MAC or Sun Belt, where that crap doesn't happen in high volume.
If nothing else, this comes down to "supply and demand." And you guys think that the demand for the AVERAGE ATHLETE is higher than the price of a scholarship based on the revenues of the BCS. But the fact is, the SUPPLY of GOOD NOT GREAT PLAYERS is far greater than the "Supply of Roster Spots at the Competitive Football and Men's Basketball."
The supply of competitive teams has shrunk because of the TV money and consolidation of power, and it's going to shrink even more with the payment of players.
