The Oversigning Cup

[Blackshirt96]

Is this process not allowed in conferences outside of the SEC? Or, is it not allowed at all and the enforcement is just poor at certain schools or certain conferences?

Every Conference has there own policy on oversigning. most follow the 85/25 rule & allow an addtional 3 if they have a reason.

All of our signees made it to campus. How that qualifies as oversigning I don't know. The B1G does not allow oversigning if memory serves. Never more than you have available or 25, whichever comes first.

We didn't oversign we actually were -2, but Marsh was a greyshirt that year so we were a -1. I would assume this extra schollarship ended up going to a walk-on.

SEC is beginning to regulate this a lot more closely now. Those days are over.

 

What I don't get is the Nebraska fans that say oversigning is this huge advantage and then fail to acknowledge Nebraska's piss poor roster management as a disadvantage.

i would agree with this. I feel oversigning is a huge advange, but at the same time I feel NU has made some bad dissisions on burning redshirt & never looking back. I think Tyler Moore would still be here if he would have redshirted last year.

-- and I think that website is a couple years old. it's been pretty quiet for a long time.

The new rule probably killed this site.

According to that chart, only 12 teams oversigned, or declared that they oversigned.

 

So maybe that website should be renamed 12 Teams, One Oversigning Cup.

The thing that kills me is if the SEC is following there new rule how does A&M have 28 commits already when 25 is the max. I'm not sure if 3 are greyshirts or if they are going to tell 3 kids on Feb 6th that they don't have room for them.

the rules don't apply to commitments, they apply to signings.

Correct. When a kid "commits" to a school, it means absolutely nothing as far as the rules are concerned.

I understand the rule, but having 28 kids in August committed means at least 3 will be cut loose or greyshirted. I'm sure there will also be a kid or two who doesn't qualify or changes his commitment, but you would have to think they may get a couple more commits before Feb 6th.
