Scholarship Discrepancies... Tank is running empty! - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**EnviedOne** · 06-15-2006, 04:38 PM

I was just looking at our available scholarships and couldn't help but note how low we are on scholarship players compared to other programs. It really shows how necessary it was to take the class that we took last year.

2004 - 17 scholarships
2005 - 15 scholarships (18 corrected)
2006 - 28 scholarships (25 corrected, 3 early enrollments to 2005)
-----------------------------
TOTAL = 60 scholarships

As you're aware, each team is allowed to have at least 85 scholarships and must have 76.5 to retain Division I status.

2004 - 10 still with team (Chris Vaughn, Chauncey Incarnato, Brandon Nicholas transferred, John Kadous, Junior Jabbie left team, Justin Hoskins, Tregg Duerson left school)
2005 - 14 still with team (Joey Hiben left team)
2006 - 28 still with team
-----------------------------
TOTAL = 52 scholarships

So, of 85 available scholarships after this years seniors leave, we will only have 52 scholarship athletes on our team. We must take a full 25 players to meet the 76.5 scholarship requirement and even with a full class we'll only have 77 players on scholarship here at Notre Dame leaving 8 open slots.

Yikes.

With the low numbers, I've got to wonder if we'll possibly be taking any walk-ons to help making up for depth.

Good post. I see this as a real positive, as we have the opportunity to replenish our players while the program is on the upswing. It also gives a new coach the best chance to bring in kids that work in his system well. Even if it means needing to take a walk-on in the upcoming years, this is much better than not being able to reload right now.

Not to change the subject but has anyone heard anything yet...I have every sports channel available and didn't see anything....

it looks like we'll be seeing more seniors awarded schollies for their hard work and commitment to the team. luckily we have someone like charlie on top of things to make sure we don't get screwed. what would've happened otherwise? eep

Member on the espn board says "inside source at the monogram club says that we have a verbal from a 5-star recruit today"

Anybody have any clue if this could be true? Obviously it's not Tyler, LOL, if true, who could it be?
