but don't grey shirts have to count against your next years class? Early enrollees can be back counted, if there is room in the prior years class, but grey shirts are forward counted. So with all the past years grey shirts they should have even less than 25 available schollys this year.

exactly. There's a future cost to greyshirts. There may be some they are using, but that's not how they are signing over 25 for years in a row.

The answer lies in the medical scholarship recovery, PWO's, and there seems to be a third loophole regarding transfers/opt outs/early NFL entrees to make the numbers work.

Unless... they are finding a way to do blueshirts. If they are, then they are in violation. Period. The conditions for a blueshirt are very specific and hard to meet. If you even contact them, send a brochure, or even give them a demon's whisper hint nudge wink of an offer they don't qualify for blueshirts.

Personally, I think the bulk is in the medical remediation with a touch of PWOs. But that means they are doing alot of medical scholarship recovery to the tune of 3 or 4 every year (yes, that's a bunch). That's 3 or 4 kids who stuck it out and got the carpet pulled out from under them. That even surpasses what most NFL franchises do.
