Re: Scholarships. 28 a year for six years sounds appropriate.

• Tennessee will lose 28 scholarships over five years, with at least two lost each season. The program reduced scholarships by 16 over the first two seasons due to self-imposed sanctions, meaning current coach Josh Heupel and his staff must only sit 12 total scholarships short over the next three seasons.

Read the article. Sheesh. It's unreal they didn't get a bowl ban.

I swear we just gotta get a sarcasm font. Even SMU didn't get hit that hard when they killed the program.

That's not a bad idea. I am not an emoji kind of guy and haven't even notice the capability in the drop downs till now.

Assign Muschamp as HBC?

 

[BuddyWyatt]

With NIL in play, do scholarship numbers even matter? Not sure how the roster is capped - by number of players or number of schollies.

Dayum. They ponied up $$$ to avoid the Bowl Ban. That's what happens to you when a former Saban assistant tries the same approach he was accustomed to at Bammer. But still, wish it had been worse for Toothless.

 

[Thick&ThinG8r]

Other than scholarship reduction, the only penalty that matters is a tv ban and they have a dozen excuses why they can no longer do it.

Just for not realizing there was a sarcasm emote in the tool bar and fully utilizing it? I know @B52G8rAC is getting up there, but the death penalty seems a little harsh. I say give him another chance.

One might even say that Tennessee is in shambles.

or scrambles

So they'll have to vacate something like 2 wins?

Assign Muschamp as HBC?

This might be the best idea for infraction penalty ever

Apparently they've already been reducing schollies so this isn't going to change things much. And yet we have all been assured it takes years without any head winds to build a winning roster.
