You are correct on all counts.I do not want to get in the middle of a fight or party ... but I thought the reductions (2 less scholarships) ran through 2027.
LWSVOL said as much here:
Current Roster Details
yes Larry, I was looking over the NCAA penalties and had a question you might be able to answer. So, I found this on the NCAA site regarding our scholarship reductions: A reduction in football scholarships by a total of 28 during the term of probation, including at least two scholarships each...www.volnation.com
Now, with the rules changing on scholarship limits, I agree that it will not affect us significantly, but I still think we will be down by two (annually) until 2027 .... thus I am thinking the number will be 103.
But I am not a scholar in this arena ... so take that as my sidewalk quarter being tossed in the hat.
Guys they still have a lot of restrictions to deal with even this year. It started in 2021 when Danny and Heupel got here. Read the small details "per year"
- penalty of $8M, meant to represent the financial equivalent of missing two postseasons.
-A legislated fine of $5,000 plus 3% of the entire football budget
-Five years of probation.
-Reduction of 28 football scholarships throughout the probationary period, with a minimum of two scholarships per year.
-Reduction of 36 football official visits during the probationary period, including at least four visits per year. Tennessee will prohibit official visits for a total of 10 regular-season home games, four of which must involve SEC opponents.
-Reduction of 40 weeks for football unofficial visits during the probationary period, with a minimum of six weeks per year. Tennessee will prohibit unofficial visits for 10 regular-season home games, including four against SEC opponents.
-A 28-week ban on recruiting communications during the probationary period, including at least three weeks per year. This includes one week each in December and January, and one week between March and June.
-reduction of 120 evaluation days throughout the probationary period.
It is honestly insane that we even sniff a top 10 class with the disadvantage they face
