Scholarship Numbers

| | Comments (6) |

A lot of questions are being asked about the 75-scholarship limit and how it will affect recruiting. It is worth noting that if USC were to reach 75 scholarships and still be under the 15-scholarship limit, one thing could happen if someone didn't transfer or become academically ineligible.
Lane Kiffin could simply tell a player on scholarship that it was not being renewed. Not a savory solution but it would reclaim a scholarship.

Unfortunately this is a likely scenario. Players will be on a short leash. If they have a bad attitude, have academic difficulty or just can't cut it athletically, I'm sure they'll be "encouraged" transfer.

SEC does it all the time. No one notices because they do it with "SEC speed."

Yep Jam, they over sign and give out a lot of "medical" releases.

They could always move the person over to an academic scholarship. They would have to drop him from the team if they did this.

They did this with Jody Adewale a few years ago and later returned him to the team and an athletic scholarship.
