[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 807066, member: 265"] I went to a Div 3 school and played football there. On our starting 22 when I was a frosh 16 had been recruited by either ACC or SEC schools and found out that they are just not big or fast enough to ever start. (Btw, I was most definitely [I]not[/I] one of the 16.) All of these guys - and a good number of others - had academic scholarships. Not full boats, but adequate. And, to be fair, there weren't any knuckle draggers on that team; several of the former ACC and SEC types were dean's list material. I understand - on very limited evidence - that this is how the main Div 3 powers manage things to this day. Sooooo … is this cheating? Well, some of the transfer players wouldn't have gotten in without football and some had a difficult time with their studies. And will this be how things turn out? I'd say the chances are pretty good that this will be what happens. People like sports and want to see their schools compete. What will probably disappear is the enormous salaries paid to coaches and ADs. But, like you say, we'll see. This is a long way from being over. [/QUOTE]
