You're leaving the door open for abuses, however

When you refer to "ND maintaining similar standards requirements for the football side of things", the line can easily be crossed from a legitimate medical issue to simply running off a player who fails to rise to the top of the depth chart. Coaches engage in this practice all too frequently to make room for new recruits.

It's fine to tell a marginal player that he will likely never see meaningful playing time and leave it up to him as to whether he wants to remain in the program, but applying undue pressure for him to leave by creating a hostile environment is common practice at this level.

I don't want Notre Dame to cross this line, but it seems we are getting closer to it every year.
