Excellent! Didn't know he was on the radar

I agree. I also agree that a lot of places are doing just that. Because no one enforces anything.
We can also give up to 105 scholarships now. Although I dont believe the program is planning to do that at this time.
Correct. Adding 20 scholarships to a male sport would require in kind increases in female scholarships due to Title 9. AD is not able to take on the cost of ~40 additional scholarships.
Reserve role, played in 3 games as a sophomore there before transferring.
Looking at ESPN, it looks like he got stats in 1 game and got 2 tackles.
Am I seeing it right, this guy started his career at TOE, transferred to SD, now is transferring to ISU?
I know you're older than me - likely twice my age, actually. You'd think you'd be a little more mature lolol...
When I was playing NAIA baseball 25 years ago you had two kinds of guys on every roster. You had a bunch of guys from small high schools that were too far away from civilization to get noticed and you had a bunch of D1 level players that couldn't hack it academically to get eligible. There probably are 2 or 3 guys at Grandview (or any other NAIA team) that could get snaps at ISU this fall if the made the jump.
Its not exactly that way. Title 9 says there has to be scholarships equalized to the ratio of overall student body. So if you have 60% men to 40% in overall student body, you can have 60% men to 40% women scholarships, at least that is how I understand it in simplified terms.
With that, the last I knew ISU was actually way ahead in actual Title 9 requirements. Because it only requires you to have enough womens scholarships. So if you exceed the ratio you need to have meaning you actually have less Mens scholarships as required it is ok. It is only enforced on the womens side. And it was recently said that ISU could actually add a complete mens sport without issue with title 9, because we were well ahead of requirements for womens scholarships.
This was discussed here significantly a while ago when people were discussing adding new sports at ISU or bringing one back. And the consensus was we were well ahead of requirements for womens scholarships, and we could add a mens sport, but depending on the number of scholarships in said sport, it might get us close to the ratio, making it an issue from year to year, as the overall ratio changes.
So, if all of that is still the case, we could add a few more FB scholarships without needing to add women's and still be ok as far as title 9 goes. That being said a lot of the scholarship limits across all sports changed so I dont know how exactly that affected our numbers, and if we are adding any significant number of scholarships on either side, since the change, from what I remember we arent changing much, at least at this point.

Agree, I think 85 scholarship is the goal with 20 walk-ons.
I think we're at 75 scholarships currently, unless those 10 remaining undeclared players leave.
I knew it wasn't 50/50, which is why I added the ~ in front of it, but I was not aware we were already ahead in required women's scholarships. Very interesting.
I am glad this **** is getting out there. This is the exact thing the Clearinghouse should be denying.
Why should it be denied? Because the contract should explicitly state the requirements of the player to be compensated, not this ******** of "Player could be asked to do such and such". If it doesn't explicitly state what player is required to do then we all know they aren't going to be required to do anything other than be on the team to get the money.
MC isn't going up the rough side of the mountain anymore. All he has to do next year is navigate a pillow soft schedule to the CFP in a multi-bid league. He'll do it with these former Cyclones. I think after 2026 that will be interesting: culture in place? recruiting? schedule? BIG player/coach turnover?
