Junior Varsity Team

I want to say some of the Service Academies and Eastern schools may still have these. Isn't that who Hargrave's Prep team plays?

I know scholarship limits pretty much limit the effectiveness of this. The only way it might be of some value is if you could play JV games without burning a redshirt. That would allow your freshman class that isn't phenoms to get some live game experience without wasting a year of their eligibility. JV would have to be almost entirely walkons, and I highly doubt it would be worth the time to deal with all those extra bodies when practice and meeting time is so heavily restricted now anyway.

Also at that time freshman could not play varsity ball,but upperclassmen could play JV ball.Tulane killed us in JV while getting beat in big boy ball.They would play upperclassmen

Back in the day you could sign as many players as you wanted. Remember Jerry Stovall was the 52nd Scholarship when he signed so today he would not get any consideration and would have to go somewhere else or be a walk on. I think there were years when Bear would sign a 100 players. It could easy to field a Freshman Team with those numbers. Back in the day if you played as a Sophmore you were good.
