How is that a loophole? If a kid couldn't qualify and went to HCC here in town to raise his grades, he wouldn't lose a year of eligibility either. As long as he was taking one class at USF as a non-degree seeking student, he coukd work out with the team and then upon later acceptance his class would count towards his degree.

 

Really?

 

Part-time students can walkon and practice just like full-time scholarship students?

 

Could USF pay for the HCC books and tuition? Room and board? If not, who is paying for the kids at Marshall's prep school?

 

I'm guessing kids in that situation would have a very difficult time paying their own way.

No idea on the room and board, tuition, etc. but USF can let whoever they want "practice" with the team. Remember UT women's basketball had a men's team at practice that worked out and scrimmaged? What's the difference? Those guys were right there hearing the exam same instruction, using the same facilities, but not playing in games.

Ironside's alma mater is on ESPNU now. His dad is the HC/QB coach.

I was just wondering what happened to the dad of a kid we never recruited that ultimately ended up going to a D3 college in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, no "in your face" update on Ironside's success as a freshman?

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
