If you get your degree in 6 years (or something reasonable) the money is all yours if not the NCAA keeps it. The flaw with this is that the NCAA is greedy.
You realize that the NCAA doesn't own the scholarship money, right? It's money owned and controlled by each individual member institution, and the NCAA has no right to come in and seize it from the institution to control the manner in which it is administered to scholarship recipients.
I really fail to see how someone invited to a university for a specific vocation, who grows in that vocation while on campus (while simultaneously doing whatever else the NCAA and the university deem necessary to participate in that vocation), and then leaves prior to graduation to pursue a career (for some, a lucrative career) in that vocation does anything that should be penalized by the NCAA.
