USuC will now suddenly be dismissed for "conduct detrimental to the team."

Also, expect some professors to suddenly tighten up the grading for certain players, causing academic casualties.

"I grew up a Notre Dame and Lou Holtz fan," Mullins said. "So when Lou Holtz calls you up to go to Carolina, you go."

As a redshirting freshman in 2004, he found a spot as a scout-team quarterback. But a few months later, Holtz was replaced by Steve Spurrier.

Mullins was moved to wide receiver, and during his first spring under Spurrier was listed on the depth chart. That summer, however, Mullins received a call from Spurrier, who said his scholarship had been rescinded.

According to media reports at the time, Spurrier didn't believe some of Holtz' players were SEC caliber. The news came as a shock to Mullins.

"I understand we were signed to play Lou Holtz' offense, and we didn't necessarily fit Spurrier's offense," said Mullins, who paid his own way for a semester before transferring to Division I-AA Presbyterian College in South Carolina. "Still, you don't think of that when you sign a scholarship -- that you're signing a one-year deal. You think they're committed to you. It's not fair. Yet it happens all the time. I never got in any trouble. I didn't do anything to get run off."

My pathetic university has not renewed 51 scholarships from athletes since 2012, Clemson has not renewed 44. Not much difference.

Yep. I know looking at Rivals isn't an exact science but looks to me that they've sure signed a LOT more than 85 over the last years.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think they signed about 131 over one 5 year stretch.***

Jan 17, 2015, 8:06 PM

Not sure it will really matter. The guy will get a scholarship but that doesn't mean he has to be on the team or count against the scholarship limit. As I read it all it says is a kid will get 4 years of free education. Nothing to sneeze at but it won't change the sign-and-cut philosophy of the SEC (and others).

SC had already announced a 4-yr guaranteed scholarship so clearly they already know the loop-hole.
