Not my area of expertise, but I think scholarships are 4 year at P5 schools now, maybe elsewhere. S went to an Ivy, but was told at a Big Ten school and an ACC school that his scholarship would be good for 4 years. At least at the Big Ten school, they said if he got injured he would actually move off of their roster to free up scholarship space from an NCAA point of view but the university would then put him on a full “football” scholarship. Which is actually a better deal for an equivalency sport athlete. Since he didn’t pursue this route I never saw the fine print.

Obviously this won’t apply if you just quit. But I think if it’s due to a career ending injury they let you keep the scholarship. Definitely something to look into though. Don’t rely on what a coach trying to make a sale told me three years ago.
