I understand is a one year commitment. But dayyyum... it would
suck if you are one year or two years into your education and
then they take away your scholarship and you gotta pay your way
or call it quits. I would feel bad for the "student"-athlete. I
guess thats how it works though

So much for Coach Pikiell being on the hot seat!!
Notwithstanding SBU's inability to reach the big dance to date,
I for one, think Coach has done a great job--AND, he and his
staff continue to do an excellent recruiting job. Hopefully,
we'll see the fruits of that in the new arena this season.

Why would Pikiell be on the hot seat? We should be so lucky
he's staying.

We are lucky. He has a perfect graduation rate, is involved in
the community, is a serious internal donor to the university.
Plus if you ever meet him on or off the campus he is a genuine
person happy to be there . Got to talk to him last summer at
the football scrimmage against Penn. No attitude , talked
about his family , the new arena . He will also bounce a player
who doesn't live up to expectations. He benched El Amin for
making a team meeting late the year he was POY. So his can be
stern but fair.

True, scholarships are awarded on a year to year basis. While
there have been examples of low-rent coaches "running off"
players, generally speaking players can count on having their
scholarships renewed each year unless there are academic or
disciplinary problems.
In this circumstance, has Coach Pikiell ever demonstrated the
type of character void that would result in him running a player
off and not honoring the scholarship? C'mon, people. Get real.
If somebody does leave, it won't have anything to do with Coach
P.

Would hate to lose Coach Young but he deserves his shot. He
paid his dues as an assistant.

I don't want to sound selfish, but I'm thinking about the team
and not him.. I know he has paid his dues and is a very good
assistant but I rather he stay here.. If he does chose to leave
for Maine so be it, Pikiel will do just fine without him.. He
could be a perfect replacement for our head coaching job when
Pikiel does inevitable leaves!!

Nope!! Sorry, Hammer. The reason someone has to go is because
the transfer in of Lucas Woodhouse into SBU required a
scholarship slot which didn't exist. So, there is no additional
slot open.

"While only a junior eligibility wise, Mayo – who missed his
true sophomore season in 2011-2012 after undergoing knee surgery
– is a senior academically and will be graduating in May"
I'm glad he at least finished his education. I would hate to see
a guy pushed out while compromising his academic future but I
know Coach P. is better man than that.
