They're just going to have them sign the athletic grant in aid and scholarship documents instead of the NLI document. No real change. Recruiting will still end when the documents are signed. Theoretically of course. Real world, that's just when transfer portal recruiting will start.

Agree but makes you wonder what will happen to the whole hat thing routine. :rolleyes:

The recruits are just like a referee. The less time you give them in front of a camera & microphone, the more they will focus on their job. Most of society craves "LOOK AT ME" time these days.

The pageantry of recruiting will still exist and probably become even worse - I'm thinking Lebron taking his talents to Miami levels of absurdity. And instead of the NLI doc being signed when ESPN cuts into the signing ceremony on NSD, it'll just be the financial aid agreement.

Commitment and nil meant nothing any more anyway.

like others have said revenue and deals tied to contacts. Include monetary value of the classes and scholarships into that for tuition. They get that plus money raised and appearances. Stop this pay for play funded by the fan ********. I already fund it listening to same damn commercial 100 times during a game

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fax machines suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced
And we know exactly what that cry sounds like.
I'll still occasionally mix up dialing some business's phone/fax number and GD does that hurt.

Last summer at Disneyland I had to try to find a fax machine because my daughter forgot her contacts and that was apparently the only way my kid's optometrist would send her contacts prescription so we could get her a way to see. I felt like Ted Lasso trying to send the divorce papers.

When a player transfers from one school to another, perhaps multiple times, is the receiving school obligated to accept full academic transfer credit? If they are, how far back can academic credit go?

It depends on if the schools in question have an articulation agreement— in which case it means that a course offered at College A will be accepted for credit at College B.

Go Pack Go! At least we have contracts and don’t allow “redshirting” and constant transferring.
I‘ll be happy with a Saints resurgence and the Titans getting off the floor too.

But it could be an issue if, say, an Ole Miss player were to transfer to Stanford. Would they be likely to accept OM's academic credit?

Breaking: NCAA to eliminate grades for student athletes, require schools to provide cots, blankets and pillows for those pretending to be students.

Yes.

Unless the Ole Miss credit in question was a developmental ed class.

BTW, Ole Miss wouldn’t count that course towards credit to a degree either. It would likely be a prerequisite to a class that did matter though.

Just quit making professional athletes go to class. No sense torturing the poor kids. Let them play football!

FREEDOM!

Haven't used this one but looks promising
Where were you in late May when I needed you? I can promise you our family won't go on another trip without asking oldest daughter if she has packed her glasses and contacts.

(Also, DisneyLAND is a far better place than Disney World for having to go procure such....left the park, went to the hotel for keys, walked to the parking lot, drove to a nearby walmart, and was back with my family in the park in about an hour. This would have taken at least two hours at WDW.)
