Oversigning (capacity 25, everyone welcome! maybe)

[Powair7s]

Been wondering this for awhile now, currently TN has 33 recruits for 2014. I thought the SEC capped them at 25 or 28, what gives? Do the rules allow as many as needed if you are not oversigning on signing day?

Grey shirts (count against 2015) and Early enrollees (count against 2013)

I got myself all worked up today reading a message board of Bama fans explaining how oversigning does not give them an unfair advantage. Even when you show them the number of recruits in a given 4 year period, they don't get it.

Math is a difficult subject in Alabama. If numbers aren't followed by thumbs or stars, they get dreary eyed.

They struggle getting to 25, they only have 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Not sure if right Tide, or not...

2014 Roster Lookahead: The Number Crunch

So here's the final tally - if we sign 27 (and they all qualify academically), Bama will basically have to cut eight guys that don't have their degrees yet.

It's their own faults. Should've gotten their degrees with SEC! speed

Have you ventured down into the comments section? Some real gems in there.

I'm guessing most of those people never went to University.
Transferring in the middle of a degree isn't a one-for-one thing. As if you can just go from 'Bama to another Institution and pick up where you left off. It's a huge setback.
Granted they're probably earning degrees in Golf Course Maintenance at 'Bama anyway... but... I really can't comprehend how the NCAA gives so much power to Universities.
It's the corrupt and cynical attitude of these kinds of Institutions that makes me think they should get a union.

I'm sure theres a little regret now that they didn't pick a school with a 4 year scholarship.

"But all that newfound success comes with a cost that most Big Ten fans won't readily admit to -- which is, they can no longer claim moral superiority over the SEC or any other league when it comes to shady recruiting practices. The conference that once prided itself on so-called gentlemen's agreements and honoring commitments is no different from anybody else."

It's hard to take seriously an article which states... "You know these are strange times when even Ohio State folks are defending Harbaugh". Mandel is shoveling pure shit. That being said I'm sure the sweaty armpit of our nation will gobble it up with a spoon.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Right. We complain about their shady shit. We get told to shut up so they can praise the shady shit. Now that one school is acting like a piece of shit, the whole conference is as shady as "everyone else"? Fuck off.

Is this where we talk about Ohio State just saying no to potentially the top slot receiver in the nation in Sam Bruce due to scholarship limitations two days ago?
