When have I ever said that? Stop lying. LSU pulls scholarships every year. Some because they are forced to by the numbers, but this one was because the guy got in trouble with the law. When a coach has to meet the 85 every year, its not smart to get in his doghouse. There are no four-year scholarships, each of them are awarded year-to-year.
Not since 1973. On January 13, 1973 the NCAA revised the scholarship system, and voted to institute a one-year scholarship as opposed to the four-year scholarship already in place. Today, Article 15 of the NCAA Manual Bylaws governs the regulations regarding financial aid grants and athletic scholarships for student athletes. As of 2010, Bylaw 15.3.3.1. for Division I athletic programs differs little from the one-year rule invoked in 1973, as it reads, "If a student's athletics ability is considered in any degree in awarding financial aid, such aid shall neither be awarded for a period in excess of one academic year nor for a period less than one academic year."
My bad, I thought the post below was you...OH WAIT, IT WAS. http://tigerfan.com/posts/1386108/ http://tigerfan.com/threads/college-football-player-unions.108056/page-4#post-1386108 You flip flop more than a fish on a beach.
That's a weak statement in many aspects. For one, it implies these "numbers" mysteriously arise. Coaches know how many kids they have on scholarship; rather, how many they have to give. If a school superintendent tells a principal they have 30 teacher slots you think he/she would hire more than 30? I think not. Miles manages scholarships about as well as he manages a game clock. Remember this? http://oversigning.com/testing/
You can't possibly be this naive. Signing players has no relationship to hiring teachers. if a teacher quits, she can be replaced by hiring someone off the street. Not so with NCAA scholarships. You can come down to the NCAA 85, but you can't go up to it. Schools have to sign enough in advance to compensate for attrition, which is a fact of life. Miles manages the numbers better than most coaches.
