This happens in every sport except football. In baseball, for example, scholarships are year to year. Don't perform as a Freshman, then you may have your scholarship pulled and asked to walk on as a Sophomore or even cut. Go look at an SEC school's Fall ball roster. Most will have 36-40 players listed. Only 35 make the Spring team, so they just wasted a full year and never even got to actually be on the team. Sucks.

Not true. Football is not the only head count sport in the NCAA

Terrible comparison for 2 reasons.

1. Baseball has a roster limit of 35. There are no roster limits in track.

2. These 3 freshmen didn't get the chance to prove themselves. As someone else said, unless these 3 athletes are a cancer to your team, there is absolutely no reason to do what she's doing here.
