Why does Vanderbilt have a scholarship advantage over other teams?

I swear all college sports are so busted

Why does Vanderbilt have a scholarship advantage over other teams?

Because they can offer aid based on financial needs and minority scholarships to avoid using the 11.7 in baseball scholarships. Kumar Rocker is a walk-on.

I know I keep mentioning Gary Parrish. But this week he said a staff member at UT sent him a text last fall and told him that Keon should be in the top 10 in mock drafts. Keon is most likely about to be drafted in the top 10. They knew what they had- just couldn’t put it all together.

Keon reminds me of the late great Kobe Bryant, imo he has the tools to be great at the next level.

Vanderbilt getting the Alabama football treatment

But why are they allowed to do that?

It's within the rules. Just a loophole.

To make it more equitable, they should take 10-12 scholarships from football and give to baseball.

The days are long but the years are short.

Cherish every minute, even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard.

Well said

Dr. Julian was an....intimidating man. Getting yelled at by him was never fun.

His daughter married one of my co-workers and I went to the wedding ... cool story, eh?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I understand wanting a girl to treat your son well but a man threatening a girl is probably not a good look. Maybe let his mother take the lead there?

IT'S CALLED EQUALITY GLITCH, LOOK IT UP!

 

[Jimmy Football]

I’m rooting for the Pack...

This is like Hoosiers, where they only have a six-man roster.

Feels good to hear an ex Auburn WR say that UT used to be WRU

He's not wrong but we also used to be good too

I'm gonna say it has something to do with being a private school and the way they use endowments---but that's just a guess.

There should be a dating site where each person does not post their own picture, but rather a picture of their mom/dad depending on their sex.

 

[Devo182]

The fact that the oldest has turned out to look almost exactly like my wife is a bit troubling at times. She is a gorgeous young lady and that just makes me hate boys allllll the more.

Like my good friend always said...if you have a daughter, just hope she ends up a lesbian...put on some Gal Gadot

 

[pierce60]

Major clean up in here. Thanks Frank!

There was an MTV show like that. Contestants went on dates with the moms then picked the mom and prayed the daughter wasn’t hideous lol

You have a weird fetish, my friend.

My 16 year old daughter has her first "boyfriend." Don't like it and don't like him, neither. Might be a good person, but he is a 16 year old boy. That is plenty enough reason to dislike.

Wouldn't be an issue if we enacted my national "vasectomy at birth" plan...

Young peeps could do what comes natural without having to worry about pregnancy...no more unwanted births, abortions, etc and a man could only sire children once he's mature and financially responsible enough to afford and make the conscious decision to reverse the vasectomy.

Zero idea how medically reasonable this is, but I say let's roll the dice for a generation and see how it goes

Lol that sounds familiar...maybe that's too risky after all. I just keep seeing really old (middle and HS) exes...they were so attractive at the time and now they look like their mom and it ain't good. Gotta play the long-game young folks. My Venezuelan MiL is a 10/10 (with all respect) and I'm also convinced my wife doesn't age. Long game!!

I’m watching the battle at Bristol. We need to do that again. That would be huge for recruiting

It is a complete joke. The NCAA does absolutely nothing to change that unbelievably advantageous loophole.

How about no?
