This coming week may set the stage for the NCAA to rescind its much-debated scholarship limitation, commonly known as the "5/8 rule."

The rule, which limits programs to adding no more than five new scholarship players in any year and no more than eight in any two-year period, will be discussed at an NCAA Management Council meeting in Indianapolis on Monday and Tuesday.

If the Management Council recommends the rule be rescinded, the NCAA's Board of Directors may do just that at its April 29th meeting in Indianapolis.

WIth the ncaa's push to increase graduation rates, i doubt this rule will be changed.   Having a higher turnover equates to less people graduating.

I wasn't aware that USF was running into problems with the 5/8 rule...

Coaches will see such a development as manna from hoop heaven. The coaches, see the "5/8 rule" as arbitrary and restrictive. They argue that another new NCAA rule, commonly known as "incentives/disincentives," will do more deftly what the "5/8 rule" was designed to accomplish: spur the recruitment of more able students, thereby leading to fewer transfers and better graduation rates.

Supporters of the "5/8 rule" say the "incentives/disincentives" rule must be tested for a few years (it goes into effect in the 2004-2005 academic year) before deciding the "5/8" is redundant and therefore unnecessary.

Apparently, the prevailing view is the coaches'.

"There's been more momentum over the last six weeks to rescind rather than wait," said Steve Mallonee, a rules interpreter for the NCAA.

College officials have come to believe that the "5/8 rule" may not affect academic performance or graduation rates. Furthermore, the "5/8" is seen as reducing the number of transfers, who give college basketball a nomadic flavor. But are transfers necessarily a hindrance to good academic work?

So if they rewrite the rules, will that affect USF this year?

1) We signed five. But if the rule is changed, can we sign more?

2) If it is not changed, how long until we are cleared of the restrictions?

3) I haven't looked, but are we going to have a full roster as it is?

Is it too much to ask for a complete team?

Nothing short of a coaching change can help us now.  We're one sorry season and one sorrier recruiting class into this nightmare.  The hole is becoming too deep.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
