Brooks could never really break into the rotation - we were his only FBS offer
William Racely is listed on 247 - didnt play any games last year
Brown jr couldnt get on the field in 3 seasons
Paul will be missed - but we have depth at DB
I assume this means four more scholarships open up for 2022/3.
From an NCAA page about general transfer rules (https://www.ncaa.org/news/2019/8/20/what...sfers.aspx)
"Student-athletes who leave their current school academically eligible may receive an athletics scholarship at the new school, regardless of whether they will be eligible to compete in their first year at the new school. Once a student-athlete informs a school of the intent to transfer, the school can cancel the student’s athletics scholarship at the conclusion of that term. The NCAA requires member schools to have a clearly communicated transfer policy that describes how exploring transfer options impacts access to services and benefits."
I bolded the part that raises a question for me. Am I reading this correctly, in that these transfers who enrolled for the current school term and attended classes for the first few days of the term before formally declaring their intent to transfer, are now entitled to receive the balance of their scholarship for this term, even though they will no longer be part of the team? As I read this, if they do not get picked up right away, it appears EMU has to cover their tuition for the rest of the current term.
Good quote and esp. the bolded.
What I think is happening, based on what I know how scholarships are given out is that those who wish to transfer at MID-YEAR gave notice early. Not nefarious like they quit on the team, but because they had to let the world know they are eligible to sign with a new school in December, if that school has an UNUSED scholarship to offer.
The rest, as you indicate, can begin their 2nd semester and stay on athletic scholarship as is their right.
So long as the player met his athletic obligation for the season (i.e., the football season which is from summer drills to a bowl game) he should be able to remain a student athlete at the school for second semester. It is NOT like being an hourly employee. No work, no eat. It is more like a teacher who may work say 10 months but receives compensation over 12 months. Doesn't have to work summer to get paid what was earned during the regular school year.
Just to go geeky... What if a player plays in a bowl game after 1st semester ends, can he transfer to his new school and get an unused 2021/2 scholarship? Does he actually participate as a student-athlete beyond fall semester?
Or in other words, did those AL and Ga. players participate in the CFP game as 2nd semester players at their respective schools? If one of those players wanted to transfer to EMU and do spring ball, would they be participating in athletes at TWO schools during the same semester???
