Good for him...though that could be an issue for the football team. He'll switch to count against the 85 limit if he kicks in a game. As a walk on he could have played and not impacted the 85 limit. Either we lose 4 players between now and the fall or he's not playing this fall.

He's a walk on

He's a walk on

He'll still count as a scholarship athlete the second he plays one snap.

Because of academic scholarship?

Would it surprise anyone there's a loophole the old staff didn't take advantage of? What if we're at 85 and mid season he ends up kicking, what happens then?

[Mavric]

No, there is specifically not a loophole. If you're on any kind of scholarship, it counts towards you football limit.

[Hedley Lamarr]

No, there is specifically not a loophole. If you're on any kind of scholarship, it counts towards you football limit.

Sooooo why did we give him an academic scholly?

[Mavric]

Not sure how that is going to work. He might have to decline it. Or he can use it if it doesn't end up working out with the football team.

[jsneb83]

Are you sure it isn't just tuition-based scholarships. I highly doubt that all the walk-ons pay for everything out of their pockets

[Mavric]

I guess there is an exception that he could get the scholarship without counting against the limit if he doesn't play.

 

15.5.1.1 Football or Basketball, Varsity Competition. In football or basketball, a student-athlete who was recruited (see Bylaw 15.02.8) by the awarding institution and who receives institutional financial aid (as set forth in Bylaw 15.02.4.2) granted without regard in any degree to athletics ability does not have to be counted until the student-athlete engages in varsity intercollegiate competition (as opposed to freshman, B-team, subvarsity, intramural or club competition) in those sports. (Revised: 1/16/93 effective 8/1/93, 1/11/94, 6/20/04, 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11, 1/18/14 effective 8/1/14)

Yeah but as soon as he plays he will count, as a JUCO I doubt he doesn't play this year.

[Atbone95]

Right - what I'm saying his he either forfeits the scholarship or we take a hit numbers wise the second he plays one snap.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Anyone think you see Bondi bounce and if this kid wins the job he takes the scholly?

[jsneb83]

This is probably why Bo gave out so many scholarships to walk-ons that were playing. If they are already counted towards your scholarship count, might as well give them one.
