NCAA to Monitor Oversigning
From the article:
"The NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee agreed recently to continue monitoring a new rule designed to address the problem of oversigning football recruits."
It goes on to state that a team may only have 28 LOIs. After they receive and accept 28 - that's it. No one else can commit.
While I assume the school can pick and choose which LOIs to reject if it goes over the magic 28 number, oversigning has been a hot-button topic here on RBR. I thought the NCAA's position on the "problem of oversigning" would show how the governing body feels about it.

My main question: how does USC have 29 recruits if the 28-limit was imposed last year?

As I understand it, if they enroll early they don't count against that 28.
Or maybe it’s that they enroll early and are back-counted against the previous year’s 25.
How much longer till kickoff?
So, ummm... the story is that the NCAA is going to continue to enforce one of its rules?
Is this news?? I don’t get it.

The news is the position that the NCAA has taken on oversigning: that it’s evil.

All this changes is JUCO guys aren't allowed to fax a letter.

That is, guys bound for JUCO, not coming from JUCO.

From today’s latest overreaction from Stewart Mandel:
Two different stories, two different quotes, the same cringe-inducing effect.
…
In a Wall Street Journal article earlier this week about the polarizing topic of oversigning, Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said his program usually signs three to four players per year who have “absolutely no chance” of qualifying academically so that “they feel a commitment to us” in the event that they become eligible after being stashed at a junior college for two years.
Can someone explain to me what is wrong with doing that?? Who is being harmed?

Doesn't matter who's hurt. IT'S INHERENTLY EVIL.

I tend to agree with your line of thinking.
In fact, ol’ Bobby should be commended for outlining his recruiting practices.

I'm actually in favor of
limiting over signing IF THE NCAA MAKES KIDS STICK BY THEIR VERBAL COMMITS.
But, the NCAA won’t do that, and probably can’t do that. So on NSD we wait to see who is really coming. So, why can a team not protect themselves against kids changing their minds by oversigning?
Or, here is another solution. Let schools have 100 kids on scholly rather than 85. Schools would then not be over signing at the current rate because with 15 extra players there is much more room for error (injury, non qualifying, changing minds, etc.)
And, I think that by law this would open up 15 more female schollys so what is wrong with that? I’m sure schools could afford 30 more schollys with all today’s TV money.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Actually, IIRC, most athletic programs run at a deficit.

Not football programs.
But you are right many don’t have the money.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
especially the women's football
no deficit, but no profit either. break even every year!

few schools take a loss on women's football as well

If the NCAA monitors over-signing
like they monitor pay-for-play, this won’t affect a single school in any way
