NCAA Settlement to Watch - Schools Pay Players

Schools don’t HAVE to fund scholarships up to the roster limit, though you have to believe pretty much every hoops program will.

NIL became a workaround for scholarships…call a kid a walk-on but shovel NIL his way that is equivalent to a scholarship. So the settlement was no more scholarship limits, just roster limits. Everybody can get a scholarship/NIL to level each school decides to fund.

So walkons are no more, they have to be on scholarship to be on the team? Do current walkons get grandfathered in, or do they have to eat a scholarship or find a new school?

I'm a little unclear on the reasoning for a roster limit of players. Why not just raise the scholarship limit, but still allow walkons? Of all the issues in college hoops, having too many walkons did not seem to be one of them.

Deleware Game

There is a thread with (very deserved ) praise for the team’s performance yesterday. I personally noted that it was the most fun I’ve had at Robin’s Stadium in years. Message boards are unfortunately a haven for venting and knee jerk reactions (check out Alabama’s or even Texas’s boards last night). I don’t consider the “negative” posts about attendance as attacking the team or program…quite the opposite as these guys deserve a lot more support. I also have high expectations for this program so when we lay an egg against Morgan State or Wofford I’m going to be one of those venting but I’ll still be at every game supporting the team with my $ and voice. Great win yesterday. If we keep playing like this it’s going to be a very fun few months ahead.
