Fred Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Just tried it again with no issue. You sure you haven't upset someone in Tampa? 🤣 I have issues with cut and pasting something like that. As one that has in the past and still creates intellectual property, I try to respect copyright laws. I do stretch occasionally but I try to limit it to a small cut and paste of a few sentences. Sorry about that. 954gator's link seemed to work for me as well. Try it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it boiled down to, was these schools have 25 scholies to give, but, since the inception of the portal, they hold 5 or so back to fill with transfers. This creates a situation where even less high school kids can get scholarships to these schools. Something like 658 total less scholarships for high school kids across the board at this point. The angle is, it's an unintended flaw in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The angle is, it's an unintended flaw in the system. I know many aren't into any level of play except for D1 but why would they call it a flaw? I see a positive in this and its FCS football gets better. Let JMU, or GA Southern, or Villanova, or North Texas etc... get five or six D1 caliber kids that have an attitude to prove something on their teams and see the level of play get that much better. Some of your best academic institutions are at that level anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badrouter Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 As it stands now, this figures to become an even bigger issue. A transfer may be even better than JUCOs were back in the day, as they will have experience playing at the D-1 level. If there is always going to be a plethora of transfers available-and they are increasingly likely to be approved to play right away, regardless of the reason etc- then those players figure to be more appealing, more of a sure thing, than a HS kid who's never set foot on a college campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stands to further hurt participation as it pertains to kids intending to use football as a vehicle to get a college education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
