University of Alabama head baseball coach Greg Goff has been relieved of his duties, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.
The Tuscaloosa News previously reported that Goff attempted to reduce or revoke scholarships for up to 10 players in violation of NCAA rules during their exit interviews earlier this week.
Players who are still on campus were called to a 1 p.m. meeting to receive the news. UA athletic officials met with Goff on Wednesday and were in meetings throughout the morning to discuss the decision.
UA athletic officials also reached out to some players and their families to advise them to wait before making decisions on whether to transfer.

Curious as to what they are.Had to be done! There were other abuses not out there that would've come out! Media held them for multiple reasons.
One of them was this:Curious as to what they are.

The bitter end for Goff came shortly after a story in The Tuscaloosa News dropped with allegations that the coach told up to ten players he was planning to rescind their scholarships, which would violate NCAA rules if they were granted since the 2015-2016 academic year began.
According to NCA bylaw 15.3.4.3.1, which was revised three years ago, "an institution may not set forth an athletically related condition (e.g., financial aid contingent upon specified performance or playing a specific position) that would permit the institution to reduce or cancel the student-athlete's financial aid during the period of the award if the conditions are not satisfied."
Wylie said there were things that had not come out yet. I'm curious about those.One of them was this:

I bknew that there was some issues with haircuts, beards, curfew, and things like that early in the season, but Im pretty sure there was more.
I tend to agree, but academic scholarships number in the many hundreds, if not thousands, whereas baseball is dealing with 11.7 so it's MUCH more competitive and cutthroat.Goff was a trainwreck, and cutting ten scholarships is not a good look. Having said that, I think it's absurd that an athletic scholarship not be tied to athletic performance. That's utter nonsense and I always felt that way. If someone gets an academic scholarship, they have to perform academically, the same should go for athletics.
