Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 4567270, member: 6485"] I can't say for sure they did or didn't pause. I will reiterate I just don't think 1300 players found themselves in bad situations when the number was significantly less before immediate eligibility was allowed. Transfers who sat out received scholarships, were to take part in all team activities, practice, have the benefits of being on the team, and sit with them at home games. The only thing it did not allow them to do is travel or play in contests, which they were able to get that year of playing time added back to their eligibility clock. To me, that year of sitting out wasn't punishing the student athlete and it didn't appear to be a problem until a few years ago. The fairness is debatable of course. The genie will never go back in the bottle so what I think doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
