Have heard that several times. Doubt they would be able to do that so much in the SBC.
Tell me if I am wrong, just what I had heard.

Going off memory here, so please forgive the holes in the story.

They used to have a program for academically ineligible/character risks where basically they weren't on the team (no scholarship), but got assistance from the athletic department to get their heads on straight/get grades worked out/heal up.

After that year, if they were up to snuff, they were placed on the team. SO they do have a feeder system where they take lots of players that don't work out at other schools.
