re: Dandy Don clearing up the new signing rules

The ambiguity in the rule is due to our minds wanting to justify something different; not the rule itself. Take your bitch for example:
It is manifestly obvious that the rule is written from the perspective of an individual school. The limit is 25, not 3200 or whatever 25 times the number of FBS schools is. If the rule meant to exclude someone who signed anywhere else, it would have to say anywhere else like it explicitly does for walk ons of 2+ years.
The rule is pretty clear when you get your head straight. Anyone who signs a promise of or an award of a scholarship counts, except for those explicitly excluded.

A kid can't be an initial counter at multiple schools. If he is correct then the word initial needs to be removed from the term. The kicker was an initial counter because he had never been on scholarship. Therefore he is being "counted" for the first time or initially.

They did not totally change the rule, they modified parts of it. They changed the counting window from a 5 month limited window to the entire year. They did not change the definition of "initial counter" - get your head wrapped around that.
