That sounds reasonable. 5 grads. A redshirt jr. or 2 will likely call it quits at some point. 5 players I was shocked returned as they will never see the field. Likely see after the season at least 1 LB, 1 QB, 2 TE, 1 or 2 OL, 1 DL, and 1 to 2 WR portal out. Couple of 3 year players shockingly entering the draft or having a meteoric rise to go in the draft. One or 2 medical hardships will happen (just does every year; it's a tough game). Could be even more than 23 depending on how things shake out, but will probably really hard decisions made if trying to get 25 or more.
Sure, we lose two QBs in the last 8 months due to NIL, but we're the ones doing something "shady"... Heck, with NIL, what else is left that would be called "shady"???
I figured is was the alarm for the fry machine letting him know to take the fries out and serve them to customers! Could be the ass plug thing though...
Is the 85 number really a roadblock? I'm not sure of the legal issues with NIL, but couldn't a school get around the 85 limit by using "NIL" money to pay for school expenses for a borderline kid to become a walk-on? Would that be legal under the current rules? I would hope this practice wouldn't become the norm, but I wonder if schools could do this to add a little depth.
I don't know the answer to your question but I doubt a player would do that if they have 2 deep potential. Non scholarship players do not get the same perks as scholarship players. No academic help, I do not think they get access to kitchen etc.
Which may i say is stupid seeing as that player is putting himself at risk of injury like anyone else and generally on his own dime to boot. Just seems dumb topnotch give them access tontjings like kitchen and academic help. They also have to keep the grades to play as well as other requirements they must meet, no?
Those rules are put in place to limit the exact thing that atlantagator is wanting above. Non scholarship athletes have way less access to all of the scholarship athlete perks. Less access to camps, trainers, training table, dinners, etc.
