Really Tuberville?
@schadjoe: Cincinnati’s Tommy Tuberville said he will consider withholding some cost of attendance money for off the field shortcomings/violations.

I'm not sure what this means, but if it refers to in-effecting "fining" players for bad behavior, I actually like it. Accountability, baby.

VA Tech thinking about doing same thing:
Bud Foster said #Hokies looking at fining players for missing/being late to meetings, other disciplinary stuff. $$ comes out of COA stipend. http://www.the-mainboard.com/index.p...ipline.159372/

It all depends on how it is determined. A coach should not have the liberty to just fine a player because they don't give enough effort on the field or something like that. However, if the player does not hold up their end of their scholarship agreement and fail in the classroom or get arrested, etc, I don't have a problem with a fine. Shoot, I wouldn't have problem with the entire scholarship getting pulled in those cases. It cannot be a motivational tool but it can be a disciplinary tool if administered fairly, consistently, and clearly.

Seems like Tuberville's comments got misconstrued. The plan is to use some of that COA to cover expenses that the players garner on their own behalf. For instance, If I, as a normal student, were to break the door to my dorm, I would be fined for it. In this case, the COA money would be put aside to pay for it. I might be wrong on this matter, but it actually sounds like a very reasonable move. I would assume other schools should be soon to follow.

Mo Egger had a pretty good article about it here:

This wouldn't be news if we were talking about the coach of a professional team, but we're not. Coaches across the nation have ringed their hands over the "professionalization" of their sport (except when it comes to their ballooning salaries).
