Technically by rule he can't based on performance but he will run off as many as he has to to get to 85

How exactly is this done? Why did they make a rule saying a team can only have 85 but can take 25 a year? I just don't get the logic of this if they are supposed to be looking out for the players. Especially if AL is allowed to take 30.

Players can appeal when coaches push them out to keep their scholarship but rarely do

Coaches keep record of missed classes or other issues just in case appeals happen

You should google the way the Seattle Seahawks teach their guys to tackle the ball carrier. It's pretty cool. They have researched how rugby players tackle without getting head injuries and incorporated that method into their system. This should be something the NCAA should look at going forward. Rugby is a rough sport that is played without any protective head gear and evidently they don't have many concussion issues. Give it a look.

The concussion issues is completely a myth when it comes to rugby. They have just as many if not more then are in regular football. There is specifically a documentary about a rugby player who has had so many concussions he basically was told to stop playing. He plays or played for the “All Blacks”. It is on Netflix.

Also, tackling was always taught head up and drive through at the midsection when I was playing. Don’t see how all the sudden some great amount of research or teaching needed to happen in the pros when this was always a standard growing up in the sport.

There's a major concussion problem with all codes of rugby football, all the way from international test matches, to grassroots and youth level. The tackling you see in rugby is taught very differently than the way it's taught in American football because of the lack of head protection, and tackle positioning is taught differently also because of the emphasis on the breakdown and rucking/mauling that doesn't exist in American football. Some have argued that the IRB and leading professional organizations like the RFU haven't been proactive enough on the concussion issue in rugby.

You must be constipated with as FOS as you have been in last 24 hrs. Players that are good and have options don't walk on especially 4 stars. If they are walking on and were/are 4 star players they busted elsewhere or did something to get in trouble. Otherwise they would have scholarships elsewhere

Michael Williams was a high 3-star who interesting enough turned down Tennessee, and signed with Texas. The other player I know about was a 4-star kid, should know soon whether he goes walk-on.

I'm going to go ahead and put you on my ignorant double-wide trailer trash ignore list, because that is what you are, problem solved.
