I heard in CJP interview on sports 56 mention that there is a possibility that the Lawson's could be allowed to play without the need to eat schollies because of Keelon's position as assistant.....Makes mucho sense and would allow for more higher ranked players to commit if those schollies are freed up.....Anybody got any more insight into this? Sounds like an extreme "win-win" an kudos to Josh if he is able to execute this move.....

Memphis head coach Josh Pastner joins Greg and Eli to discuss recruiting and potential changes to his staff.

Impossible! I heard that Josh came on the air very angrily and only said that if they went 40-0 that some people would still complain about him, then he hanged up the phone and the interview was over.

......but that does sound very interesting. Wonder what players they are looking at?

Certainly possible. Good question for sure.

If this is the case, are LOIs binding?

If they are not, then if the boys have a good season anybody who wants them could just hire dad for some ridiculous pot of cash, and get two seasoned starters.

D H Lawrence...that's all that comes to mind on the subject.

This board is an appropriate place for that observation.

I can't imagine the NCAA would allow us to do that. Not that it violates any rules that I know of, but that doesn't usually stop them.

So far, this is the info that I have come across that references any info that comes close to being applicable.....Although there could be circumstances rel8ed particularly to coaching/sports.....This may be a caveat that CJP is looking to secure in th future by Memphis applying for this type of Financial aid package(whatever that process may be)for the Lawson's that remain and also, future Lawson's that are looking to enroll.....Interesting though, as new member schools that participate in this program are added yearly ......

"CIC-TEP is a network of CIC member colleges and universities willing to accept, tuition-free, students from families of full-time employees of other participating institutions. Each participating institution in the network agrees to import a limited number of students on the same admission basis as they accept all other students, without regard to the number of students it exports."

"CIC-TEP began more than 30 years ago when a small group of member presidents suggested that CIC create a program with minimal rules and low fees that they could offer as a benefit to employees. Today, 423 colleges and universities (roughly two-thirds of all CIC Institutional Members) from 48 states and five countries are participating. Over the decades, thousands of employees and their spouses and dependents have been able to attend college tuition-free. This year alone, more than 1,800 students were able to fulfill their educational goals thanks to CIC-TEP."

Colleges that provide FREE tuition for employees

Since it has come up here and there, I thought it would be fun to start a thread about colleges you can work for that provide free or reduced tuition for you/family. This is a GREAT way to pay for college! For those of us with several children, this single benefit can be worth a half-million dollars. This is a substantial benefit, and should be brought to the forefront. Especially, since many require only part time work (janitor, cook, teacher , coach, student services, IT, etc)

Please add schools you know offer such a benefit, and links if possible.

I'll start off with this Tuition Exchange| Career Institution| College Tuition Exchange Program

I work for the University of Saint Francis (USF). In addition to the Tuition Exchange (TE)program, we are a member of the CIC Tuition Exchange Program:

About the CIC Tuition Exchange Program

Note - that CIC and TE are not guaranteed. Schools are only required to set aside so many slots for CIC and TE students. From conversations with my colleagues, CIC is more "friendly" than TE.

As a USF employee, my dependent children under the age of 23, along with my wife, can attend USF and have tuition charges waived.

I listened to it live and now have just listened to the podcast in case I may have missed something and I must say your interpretation (of what you heard) of the interview is either a complete fabrication of what really happened or a very slanted view of what you may have wanted to happen.

I would advise you to listen yourself instead of taking someone else's word of what really happened.

Sarcasm only works in an environment were the statement is accepted as absurd. This is not the place that would believe an adverse comment about Pastner would be considered absurd.

Smh

I love MT.org - Best Entertainment Value for Your Money

Any kid can walk on and play if they are eligible by NCAA standards.

The Lawson's can walk on if they so desire and the coaching staff accepts them.

As an employee of the school, Lawson can get a discount on tuition for his kids.

Making a big deal out of this situation is just plain ignorant.
