<p>I do agree that schools like Stanford with a huge endowment and 100% need met would be most likely to continue scholarship money even if the student could not play the sport. </p>

<p>I don't think ability to pay is the main issue here. For each sport there is an NCAA limit of how many scholarships each school can offer. If Stanford, or any school, honors the scholarship of an injuried athlete they are decidiing to have one less healthy athlete on scholarship. I think this is the "correct" choice for a school to make but not one they have to make and I applaud schools that have the integrity to stick their commitment when they have a choice.</p>
