What an absolutely bizarre hill to die on.

So we are giving Rhule as Dannen said like a 30 to 40 mil NIL and Rev Share budget this year to sign.....6 guys? We just going give all our mid players Ohio State level pay? Lol

Before you can assert that, you have to explain just how you are going to do that and remain within the rules of the Settlement. Hint; you can't.

The names of the grandfathered players had to be sent to the NCAA. They were supposed to be kids who otherwise (but for grandfathering) would not have been on the 105 roster. The NCAA sent lengthy guidance out on it in Q&A format.

The students that are grandfathered have the label Designated Student Athlete (DSA) in the guidance. Their names weren’t made public but the names were provided to every D1 member school.

For those who are curious about how grandfathering works, here is the NCAA guidance. The grandfathering discussion is in section C (see especially C11 and the following questions)

I am willing to make a wager that Nebraska will take more than 6 transfers like you’ve told us they only have room for.

So any player not receiving financial aid thats sports related doesnt count to the cap. So we just need scholarship players to portal out to bring new ones in. Additionally, if 1890 was paying the kid the university wasn't so they wouldn't count towards cap either. That's how I interpret it anyways?

Thanks. This was helpful. So basically the 105 number does not include the grandfathered designated student athletes. Is that correct? Any idea how many we have on that list?

To begin with the University and the AD and the football program can have ZERO input on a players decision to leave, The settlement enshrines that right for the player.

Making bad recruiting decisions is now a FATAL issue for football programs, because if the player doesn't want to leave you are stuck with him till he graduates. (Or they do something that violates the University's ethic code.)

There are plenty of ways.

My question, guys that 1890 basically paid to pay for their school, are they grandfathered in as they wouldnt have received funds from the athletic department?

Why don't we all just bookmark this thread & revisit it in mid-late January for some entertaining retrospectives.

 

[Alcaus]

Maybe post some highlights if you're going to gay up my thread with compliance talk and whining about losing forever.

McKenzie looking scrambly

with announced transfers and using the roster on huskers.com it looks like we sit at 112 including the 10 signees. Reviewing roster and walk ons alone I believe that is 19 grandfathered players that do not count towards the 105. 112-19=93. This doesnt include any additional attrition which we know is coming. This also doesnt include any guys we "think" are arent grandfathered, like a Caleb Benning for example. I remember stories of 1890 giving full rides. Not sure how that counts with the new rules.

We had 20 by my count last July 1. So, if those guys leave, it doesn't free up a spot on the roster

People dismissed this kid too quickly. My pick if we pulled one out of the portal assuming we're not in on Leavitt, Hoover, or Rocco Becht

- Cheap
- High upside
- Lightning fast processor
- Twitchy in the pocket
- Great vision as a runner
- Won games (Aidan Chiles ---)
- Mobile and stationary accuracy
- DOESNT TAKE SACKS

Cons
- Arm strength is leaves something to be desired
- Not a lot of anticipation on his tape, might be the offense idk

Comp: Pavia/Chambliss/Manziel with less arm strength

Scholarship players can come off the roster, too. That creates a roster spot, but their scholarships still eat into the cap., Agree on 1890.

if my current calculations I just did this morning are correct, we are at around 112 with 19 players I would easily classify as grandfathered. That number includes the 10 signees in the 112.

so Maverick Noonan would or would not free up a scholarship spot on the 105? I was not nearly as confused as I now am on all of this after reading this thread lol

Scholarships don't really matter that much anymore. Just roster spots. We don't know if Noonan frees up a spot. He doesn't if he was a DSA on the list filed last July 1.
