Single year (for) vs multi year (against)

http://m.si.com/news/tr/tr/detail/4708194



Tennessee coach Derek Dooley delivered the strongest response of any SEC coach who fielded a question about the implementation of multi-year scholarships on National Signing Day. In short, Dooley stands against what at least nine of 12 Big Ten teams and, as far as we know, Auburn and Florida did Wednesday. Representatives from all of those schools and a number of others are on the record saying that all of the members of their 2012 class received four-year scholarships rather than the one-year deals that have been the norm in modern college athletics. Without specifically saying whether or not UT's 21 signees received more than a one-year scholarship, Dooley clearly laid out where he stands on the latest hot topic in NCAA reform. "We forget this is a contract, a two-way street," Dooley said. "I think it's humorous that the academic institution can give an academic scholarship and take it away when a student doesn't perform at a certain GPA-level, but it's absolutely the worst thing you can do as a coach - it's so wrong what you do to these young people - when he doesn't do what he's supposed to do."

I don't agree with him, but he does make some very good points.
