LOL

Does the Big East allow non-qualifiers?  I thought we were losing recruits to C-USA because we didn't allow non-qualifiers.

How can you slap him with himself?

You’ve gotta give Saban sp? (Satan?) credit.  His unsubstantiated crack at USF gave him what he wanted.

On the surface he was taking a shot at USF, but beneath the surface he was jealous.  After watching USF in the running for a lot of Auburn, Alabama, and South Carolina kids this is what they do.  We weren't stealing non-qualifiers from them.  We were stealing qualifiers.  It'll be interesting to see how this works out for USF.  I hope it doesn't have an impact.

I believe you are correct that the BE does not accept partial qualifiers. Buie came in when we were still in CUSA.

If they do i think it's 1 a year or w/e, but if i had to guess i would lean towards no.

Normal,

I did some more digging and this is what I found on the SEC website...

14.5.4.2 Partial and Non-qualifiers.

A partial or non-qualifier, who initially enrolls at a two-year college (junior

college) and transfers to an SEC member institution, shall not be eligible for financial aid, practice or competition unless

the following requirements have been met:  [Revised 6/3/93]

(a) Graduated with an Associate or equivalent degree in an academic, rather than a vocational, curriculum (see

NCAA Bylaw 14.5.4.5.4); [Revised 6/3/05]

I'm not claiming to know what the SEC's rules concerning Partial and Non-Qualifiers was originally, is 2.00 lower than what it was? I honestly don't know if by not allowing correspondence, extension and distance learning courses if the standards are being raised or lowered. Maybe someone with knowledge of this wouldn't mind chiming in. However, I am willing to suggest that the article linked at the top of the discussion was onto something if there are, in fact revised standards effective August 1st.

I apologize in advance if I am wrong about this.
