Penn State transfers

I think I heard the exact opposite. USC will be treated just like Tulane.

"USC is not allowed to go more than 75 scholarship players, thanks to sanctions the school received in 2010 due to improper benefits. The school needs a spot for Redd, but USC believes at least one player currently on scholarship is academically ineligible. If not, a walk-on player likely would give up a scholarship."

Not the gospel truth by any means, but this is what ESPN is reporting about the situation.

Another U$C trick??? A walk-on by definition does not HAVE a scholarship.

Think they mean that a walk-on who had been awarded a scholarship will give it up and pay his own way. In other news, ESPN now reporting that Robert Bolden has contacted LSU to let them know that he is transferring.

The Linebacker is transferring to Cal.

Unconfirmed. Someone jumped the gun on Twitter.

HUFset said:
It's absolutely ridiculous that someone can transfer to a school that is technically being "sanctioned" right now. We might as well start paying players. It doesn't seem to matter to the NCAA. Oregon, Cal, Miami, Auburn and U$C have been completely unaffected.

WTF? How and why would Cal be in included in this group of teams and why would they be sanctioned by the NCAA?

That punishment was bs and horrible. The NCAA never seems to follow up on anything in the SEC...

Ohio State did the same thing we did. In their case, the NCAA delayed its findings until after it had changed the rules so that this was no longer an infraction. Buckeyes, months after CU got hit, were not penalized.

That sounds typical. The NCAA also loves OSU. I really don't understand why you guys got hammered for that petty (even self reported) stuff...

On an unrelated note, Kairi Fortt, the 2010 #5 ranked OLB in that year's class made it official for Cal today. He almost committed to us out of HS though so it's a good fit and we welcome him. Another Cal LB -one of our young stars, Cecil Whiteside, was reinstated with the team recently so maybe we'll give Whoregon a good test this year.

Good news for you guys. Whiteside was one of my favorite prospects in all of the time I have followed recruiting.
 
Somewhat surprising a senior WR chose to leave. Would have been a good get for us as we are going to be very thin at WR this year at least until PRich comes back and that dude for PSU was also a good returner.

Honestly I don't know why anyone would commit to PSU and if you were an underclassmen, why you would stay. Knowing no matter how well you and your team plays you can't even go to a bowl game, let alone compete for the National Championship, and on top of that, PSU has been so tarnished that saying you played for PSU no longer has a positive cache to it.
 
You would have to be crazy to be a high level recruit and go to PSU this year.

Not going to be any issues with playing time, they're going to have time putting a full team on the field by the time this is over.
 
just saw silas redd being interviewed on espn. he said he had to make a "business decision." his eyes kinda went big after that and he followed with "you know, academically and athletically."

Let's not act as if U$C is the only team that cheats. I'm just wondering where the f our boosters are. We need them badly for OL recruiting :lol:
