It says you got a scholarship to do X so if you aren't doing X then the school will give the money to someone that does do X.

BTW I know it won't happen because it "looks bad".

of course, we have done plenty of other things recently that "look bad" so maybe everything is on the table.

It says "we don't care about you as a person." Especially right now, it's important to show athletes we care about them whenever we can. Given that there was a recent outbreak that resulted in the athletic facilities getting shut down, this is not an unreasonable decision on her part.

Did you write the bolded part with a straight face? just curious. :)

I agree it is a reasonable decision. I'm just saying if you are receiving $50k (or whatever ridiculous price it costs to go to W&M as an out of state student now) a year to do X and you decide not to do X, then it is also reasonable to not get $50k.

just to be clear, I think everyone should make the decisions that are best for them, which includes an analysis of the consequences. Obviously if there are no consequences then it is what it is. I would also opt to not go to my job and keep receiving my salary if the option was given to me.
