Honestly, in the world of NIL, does a loss of 2 scholarships per year even matter? Make walk-ons of two guys that would have otherwise been scholarship players. Then arrange NIL deals for them in amounts that would cover the loss of the scholarship.

Great point. I didn’t think of that.

How you do it with NIL is to use it for fifth year seniors each year during those 5 years. Particularly the ones that aren't starters but still on scholarship. I think that is the easiest solution. If they don't like the idea and transfer, you still free up a scholarship. There's always at least 2 or 3 of those guys every year. You also offer them a NIL deal that compensates them nicely above what the value of the scholarship is. Enough to pay for an apartment, car note, insurance, gas, and groceries every month. That sounds like a sweet deal for VFLs that have put in the work, but are basically depth pieces.

We've already given up 16 of the 28. We still have 12 additional to forfeit.

Per the interview with Heupel, we've actually already given up 18. So, it's 10 additional scholarships over 5 years, so 2.0 per year.

 

[butchna]

I thought the previous two years counted as the 5, so 12 over 3 years.

Am I wrong about that?

Yes. PROBATION starts now. The number of reduced scholarships are mitigated by those already self-imposed.

If you put into context the amount of scholarships it’s a heavy punishment BUT Tennessee had already self imposed several scholarships.

I expected the NCAA to bring the hammer down on us given the severity of the offenses. I thought it'd be much more on scholarships and a post season ban with hefty fines as well. The university has done an excellent job of handling it and I'm happy it's finally over.

How many have you read?

 

[Jackcrevol]

I’ve seen 500 miles several times. You do realize Panama City is less than 500 miles from Knoxville. Detroit is only a 513 mile Drive. That’s a hell of a circle.

what about Rock City?
