How Many Scholarships are left with B1G Teams?

  • I did a little research on the number of commits each B1G school has received. Can anyone fill in the number of scholarships left for each because several looked to be pretty full. If you go just by the numbers the Spartans, Neb, Wisky, PSU and Illini are far behind the 8-ball.

    MSU 14 (5 left per CBD - 1 early enrollee could count against 2011 class)
    Illinois 14 (possible 11 left)
    Indiana 24 (6 enrolled early - possibily 7 left)
    Iowa 18 (2 enrolled early - possibly 9 left)
    Michigan 24 (3 enrolled early - possibly 4 left)
    Minnesota 27 (ikely done)
    Nebraska 11 (1 enrolled early - possibly 15 left)
    Northwestern 20 (possibly 5 left)
    Ohio State 23 (5 earlier enrollees could go to 2011 class - 6 players flipped)
    Penn State 14 (lost another commitment to OSU)
    Purdue 25 (1 enrolled early - possilby 1 left)
    Wisconsin 12 (possibly 13 left)

    What I can find is the NCAA limits scholarships to 85 per school (82 for O$U the next three years) and no more than 25 per class unless there is a waiver for 3 more.

    Not completely true. It just means they don't have as many schollies to give and/or they are not wasting them.
    Today I read on O$U page that Meyer is going to "play by SEC rules" and start over signing.
    It wouldn't suprise me... especially since they got so many schollies taken away sarcasm

    B1G does have different rules than the SEC. Teams can only give out 3 scholarships above what they have available. But that doesn't mean O$U won't get overlooked for cheating since the commish wants them to vie for the NC.

  • If a player is the victim of over signing at a school, is that player eligible to play elsewhere immediately?

  • Only if the haven't signed their LOI. If they have signed the LOI, i think they have to sit out a year.

    I counted yesterday: I see 3 open spots left for sure, unless there are transfers/medical hardships we haven't been made aware of (Paul Lang, perhaps?)

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    which is complete BS, because it's not their fault the coach oversigned.

    They should make any oversigning victim immediately eligible for any D-1 school.

    Paul Lang is done with his football career due to his back.

    Couldn't agree more, just watch too, Meyer will be pulling out all the stops.

    Rocky,
    4 available for sure and a 5th one may become available.
    Stay tuned.

    Rocky, 4 available for sure and a 5th one may become available. Stay tuned.

    Then it looks like Lang is officially done. Too bad, thought he was underrated and was a great H-back prospect for MSU.

    I'm thinking we might see an LB transfer.

  • Great article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer regarding O$U's recruitment.

    http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2012/01/maxed_out_with_scholarships_oh.html

    The article did say O$U is full as of right now, but they can take 3 over their available scholarships. However, they have to justify the oversigning and also prove to the B1G office by Thursday how they plan to get to their limit of 82. One of their recruits apparently is not going to meet O$Us academic requirements which opens up a scholarship. But theyare in the running for at least 1/2 dozen players so the really have not room.

    The same will happen with all of the other B1G teams.

    Is the transfer discussion pure speculation or do you have some info on this?

    Not correct -- if they get a release and haven't started any class, they can go anywhere else and play without sitting out. Example was Seantrell Henderson who signed a LOI to USC then went to Miami and started as a freshman.

    as to the OP, I know PSU has at least 4 more scholies available for this class.

  • “@SWiltfong247: Does Ohio State still have a chance at the nation's No. 1 class? No. 2 is definitely in reach. http://t.co/Q71X6cXd via @247Sports”

    So it sounds like OSU has "found" a scholarship or 2. Man do I hate urban meyer.
