Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4620690, member: 199"] It is not a good look for any coach to get a reputation for messing with scholarships. The covid year created an extraordinary situation where suddenly players were give the option of a fifth year. The NCAA recognizing the immediate problem allowed all schools to exceed the 15 scholarship limit, if those over the limit were exercising their 5th year. That exemption lasted only the one year giving coaches a year to reorganize their recruiting. 15 is now a firm limit to scholarships. I believe Tara told one player that a fifth year scholarship was not available a year or two ago because Stanford was at its limit. This will continue to be an unique, but limited phenomenon until all covid 5th year option have been worked through the system. Paige's red-shirt season for example could extend the covid option an additional year in theory and others like Prince are also in that boat. [/QUOTE]
