re: What do you guys think about oversigning?

Some of the biggest complainers about oversigning are starting to do it as well. I have a different definition of oversigning than the general idea that is floated around. Oversigning technically is when you sign more players than you have available under the 85 man limit. Every school does that. The Bama/LSU argument is because others feel that those 2 schools force kids out of the program. I'm sure it happens but it's not as much forcing kids out as kids choosing to leave or being told the circumstances aren't good if the kid stays meaning playing time. This happens everywhere across the nation. Big Ten people are the biggest complainers but it has been proven that those schools technically oversign as well. One big complainer in the oversigning debate is Texas and I follow the Texas sites pretty closely. It's amazing the spin that's being put on the guys Mack and co are "asking to leave" right now. Some Texas people are outright calling it what it is, forced attrition. The fans and other media people for Texas spin it by saying the kids don't work hard enough,are trouble or never will play at Texas. From my understanding that is exactly what LSU and Bama do. No difference between all those circumstances. If the kids that are "asked to leave" are being asked because they're just not good fits or good enough then that by definition is forced attrition. It happens everywhere and the SEC just takes the rap because it wins everything. Jealousy and envy at it's finest. The schools that have complained that are starting to do this as well will explain it away by saying they are just trying to keep up with the SEC. It doesn't hold water.
