'20 FL WR Malachi Wideman (Tennessee signee)

[Catbone]

After seeing Clemson and LSU play last night, it's pretty easy to see why having these kinds of athletes on our team are a must. Do we have to make room for this kid or what?

Gotta pay them off. Play dirtier. Only way to get back to the top

Do we have room to sign him in BBall so we can sign him, Beckwith and Hardy? I mean he could always transfer to FB as soon as a a scholarship opens up.

If he plays both sports, NCAA rules state he has to count against football.

There is a rule governing which sport a dual sport player has to be charged to.

IIRC, a football player on scholarship has to be counted against football regardless of any other sport they play.

That’s correct

Counts for the higher revenue sport. In theory there are a few schools where that could be basketball (Kansas, Duke, etc)

I think if we have the chance, we take a talent like this.

Kind of. Here's the graph from the manual explaining the order:

Great idea. If that doesn’t workout...maybe we get get him a scholarship to row team ...and have him play football also!!

Huh. Leave it to the NCAA to overcomplicate

Yeah but don't Men's Ice Hockey and Women's Volleyball play at the same time? So no way that would work. Kid seems to be a helluva athlete though, I'm impressed.

 

[GoVolsGo54]

I’m late to this. How are we feeling about our chances here?

Thanks 3rd. You're quite the resource.

Happen to be connected to a comp dept like La_Vol seemed to be? You can just wink or post an emoji in response, iyl.

No, nothing attached to a university. I just find I feel better with a little research into the facts rather than endlessly arguing opinions. It doesn't take long to find the manual online and read what the rules really are. I dunno, it's probably just the engineer in me.

Same. After wading through federal tax code, the D120 pdf of NCAA bylaws and proposals database feel cushy.

 

[All Hail Da Shine]

I mean Morven Joseph was 'sposed to be a Nole.

So if Ives Pons wanted to play football, he would count against football scholly? What if football doesnt have room, does that mean he just cant play football?

That's would be my understanding. He'd have to count as a football scholarship or not participate.

Yes

Thats a bad rule.

 

[Sleegro]

Thats a bad rule.

Nah. It's a good rule and there for a good reason.

 

[Volator]

Nah. It's a good rule and there for a good reason.

Correct, it is also referred to as the Bear Bryant rule as he used to use swimming (and other minor sports) schollys for football players.

It doesn't work that way and I'm sure Barnes wants to use his 13 scholarships for basketball players.
