The NCAA does not allow you to sign more than 28 players per year. Johnny Major and Bear Bryant use to sign 90 players per season until the NCAA put in the rule. A NCAA institution also has to fully fund freshman and 1st year JUCO scholarships. They can not split those players scholarships. Now for
2nd year players and upward, they are at the mercy of the coach. Apparently, many of J State transfers do not count because they enrolled before the new academic year.
I know for a fact, when Comegy annouced the 55 players as signees, complaints were filed with the conference office. Does the release of perspective players names to the media or the signing of letters of intent count as a one year contract? If so, they have to be honored if the students met all their academic requirements.
I have always wondered how GSU got away with this. Maybe the new SID (TBF) can enlighten us.
