SEC rules give you only 25 initial counters per year. If a kid doesn't qualify, he still counts towards that number. No other conference is working under those constraints

Both the NCAA and SEC allow 25 initial counters. It is not spelled out in the NCAA nor the SEC bylaws that academic casualties are considered an initial counter. They are considered in the annual signee limit which is also 25 by both NCAA and SEC standards.

Agreed. I shouldn't have said initial counters because that is confusing and the SEC rule has nothing to do with that. The new NCAA rule is that all schools can sign a maximum of 28 players to LOIs but only 25 of those can actually be admitted, ie, 3 are set up for academic (and other) casualties. In addition, if 20 of your 28 don't qualify, you could then proceed to sign 20 more early enrollees.

The SEC rule is much more stringent and you are only allowed to sign 25 players to LOIs per year (Feb + the following EEs). Thus sign an LOI and you count towards that. No takebacks. You get no breaks or extra EE spots for non-qualifiers.

ETA - in both cases, you are allowed a maximum of 25 initial counters
