Well, it isn't as easy as just telling guys they need to "move along". From what Tuco stated, with a new coach, you can move 10 scholarships to non-football which then gives the kids a choice to stay or not. But, as I understand it, in the B1G when a kid is given a scholarship, it is guaranteed with some exceptions such as a coaching change.
So, if all of this is factual, the conversation isn't, well, you probably won't play in our system so we are pulling your scholarship. It is more like you are one of the ten who can stay and go to school but no football scholarship or you aren't a good fit for our system and you will likely just be a bench player or special teams.
With all the talk of the SEC doing it, yes, they have the conversations and the kids then have to decide which the LB we got from Georgia did.
