What do you guys think about oversigning?

I use the perception over reality philosophy.

The perception is some schools do it(LSU\BAMA\Fla) and others are playing by the rules.
The perception is the scholarship is a four year (binding)commitment between the student athlete and the institution.

The reality is all of the successful programs practice this "numbers management" through grey shirts, preferred walk-ons, early enrollment, JUCO placement...and yes forced attrition.

The reality is big time college football is about doing it better than the other guy and words like commitment, loyalty, accountability and trust are all subject to change under the unwritten rule.

everyone who is not on the winning end of this practice will bitch about it, while those who are successful through these practices will keep their comments to themselves.

This is MHO and not the gospel or the final word on the subject.
