Well it looks like there will be no need for a recruiting coordinator…everyone will just shop the portal. Its disgusting what college athletics is turning into in my opinion.Quote:

The sunbelt doesnt have 4 umpires for conference series. How many scholarships you think we will get? Lol
Back in the day [pre 1970 or so], schools like Texas, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State etc had as many as 200 on scholarship for football. Then the NCAA went to scholarship limits and Alabama had like 20-30 guys on minor sports scholarships playing football... hence the "Bear Bryant Rule".Quote:

Bottom line is consistency is needed, whichever system you work you should work that as much as possible rather than jumping back and forth.
What are the rules regarding having a JV team? No opinion on the proper number for roster cap, but seems the redshirts and those above the cap could be placed on a JV and still get to practice and improve, maybe even play a few games or scrimmages. Seems some smaller schools (mostly private/ academies) have JV but not larger schools, kind of seems backwards in how I thought that would play out.Quote:

This partial scholarship system seems open to abuse and a lack of auditing.
Seems hard for me to believe with all these years of this guy getting a third of a scholarship for academics and this guy getting a fifth for 4H and an eighth bc great granpa built the railroad or whatever all these scenarios are, that all of this was ever audited by the NCAA. When someone is a first round draft pick, even if they pay full price bc their dad is elon musk, they should never have ever counted as a “walk-on”. I would really like to peruse the files of some of these c and d students on full academic scholarship or see the cancelled checks from some of these parents of partial scholarship top picks for my own eyes.
May be moot moving forward but still….
Well i can tell you this…when you cant appeal to a base umpire on a check swing bc that umpire is in the middle of the field like a coach pitch league game…that isnt good. Overall the umpiring in the conference is bad. Like BAD. Terrible way to save a few dollarsQuote:
