It is reasonable depending on circumstances that a sports program and school could drop a students scholarship because of his actions even if a situation didn't rise to the level of criminal conviction or even allegation. It could be an ethical level that would be have a much lower standard. If that is the situation here I would completely understand the coach and school dropping the kid. A student would have to expect a higher standard at a school like Liberty.

Note to self...Sue for an insane amount, that way if they decide to settle I can still get a decent amount.

If this guy is good enough to earn a $100M NFL career paycheck then there is no doubt several D1 schools would have taken him in even with a tarnished background. Many have done it in the past , Alabama, Auburn, etc.
