re: Signing Limit Waiver Details & Projected Attrition

So, it does not appear that a player who is paid with NIL money but who does not receive a scholarship counts against the numbers.

I don’t know that the question is necessarily related to the signing limit waiver itself, but sure - theoretically that’s possible. I’m not convinced that’s what lies ahead, though.

Consider that a rash of 4* players with scholarship offers from other schools going to a powerhouse program without any financial aid is likely to raise a TON of scrutiny from the NCAA. Also consider that these NIL deals have to be reported, so there’s a paper trail of who received money and how much.

With a rumored 1000 players in the portal, we should be able to offer some of them to walk on (with some NIL money). Without this tactic, we are going to be severely short of players next season. I think it’s easier to get a transferred player on the team to walk on and take NIL money than a kid coming out of high school. We just need bodies next year, then when the NCAA reels this shite in we can return to a more normal strategy.
