Title: The oversigning controversy: Early enrollment allows schools to get around NCAA
Post by: ssmith general on March 08, 2011, 06:07:23 AM
limitations on signing-class size.

"College football coaches around the country have embraced early enrollment for signees because it allows the new players to take part in spring drills and get a head start with conditioning and academics.

But there's another reason early enrollment is all the rage -- it's a way around NCAA limitations on oversigning.
   
The NCAA last year adopted an SEC rule prohibiting its Football Bowl Subdivision programs from signing more than 28 in a given class. The rule bolsters a provision already on the books allowing for only 25 incoming freshmen in a given class -- a number that does not account for academic non-qualifiers or signees who are asked to grayshirt and defer their enrollment.
   
But two SEC schools signed more than the allotted 28 players this year: Arkansas (30) and South Carolina (32). "

Arky and USCe break the rules, and CNS gets the flack for oversigning. 

I like the early admission, and hope they keep it.  Incoming players need the academic help they get by starting in January.  Jessee can work on his language skills. ;D

I like Mike Rileys statement if they want to come to Alabama or OSU then let them. I think oversigning as long it's accepted for all schools is not wrong. RTR!
