The kids sign one year ships but are promised or led to believe something different. That's the shady part. Then the coaches don't want the bad publicity of cutting kids who underperform so they "process" them instead. It's just a shady business all around.
Some say the repetitive nature and accumulative effect of sub-concussive injuries, ones that don't even require kids to come out, are the real danger in football.
1. Friday traffic. People don't want to fight Friday night traffic, especially after working all day.
2. Distance. People 2 or more hours away are much more likely to come to a Saturday game than a Friday night one.
A Saturday or Saturday night game would make way more sense from an...
And yet there are plenty of schools that run O's like you describe with less NFL players than GT. I think there's more in play than simply the scheme. When we've recruited better players, they've made the league. Even at positions that we were not supposed to: wr, OL.
Imo, the whole "NFL...
My question was why the one-year scholly? The things you mentioned doesn't answer it. My ROTC scholly was 4years but was conditional. Athletic schollies can be 4/5 year conditional too. Heck, the conditions can be anything including performance.
This statement has no relevance. All types of scholarships are conditional on the things you mentioned. I was on ROTC scholarship and had to maintain a 2.0 GPA or I lost it. I also had to keep my nose clean with the law and the hill. I was worried about drinking because I was underage and...
Attrition has negative connotations connected to it. "leaving with eligibility remaining"... it that's the all encompassing definition then fine, use it. But it changes the meaning. Maybe "bad" attrition and "good" attrition should be distinguished and separate. A kid with eligibility...
Then why the 1 year scholarship term if not for yearly reevaluation? Why call it processing when another term that aptly describes it was already part of the lexicon? It's the same thing imo.
If we run primarily RPO, does that mean we are running an NFL style offense? How do you define NFL style, one team runs it, two, three? What about percentages? At least 50% run it? What?
processing = cutting.
Not sure why the term "cutting" is such a dirty word in college sports. It is routinely used in middle school, high school and pro sports. All three levels basically have tryouts at the beginning of each season and players must reprove their worth to the team. It's even...
Similarly, CPJ took pro-style OL's and adapted them to his offense and had immediate success. He also adapted non OL's and made them OL's. It can be done.
