Title: "A Quick Note on Greyshirting" Post by: Chechem on February 05, 2012, 05:41:12 AM Quote As inevitable as the sun rising in the east, another National Signing Day was followed by another outcry against greyshirting and all of its supposed ills, and as is typically the case much of the spotlight was on Alabama. By no means is that practice unique to Tuscaloosa, of course, and many schools in fact have made this standard custom and practice for roster management, but Nick Saban is the easy villain so he bears the brunt of the criticism, as usual. The outcry is predictable at this point, but the recent hard cap imposed by the SEC has worked to make such situations more frequent. With all of that in mind, a quick thought on greyshirting. http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2012/2/4/2770950/a-quick-note-on-greyshirtingFirst, take the 30,000 foot view of the current competitive landscape.... Quick note? More of a rambling novel. :dunno: Title: Re: "A Quick Note on Greyshirting" Post by: Jamos on February 05, 2012, 06:23:43 AM I just wonder if the NCAA would be making all of these rules changes if the Big 10, Pac 10, and the Big 12 were the dominate conferences. ;)

More of a rambling novel. :dunno: :lol: Like watching a dog running around and around in a circle, chasing its tail. Quick note would have been more like, "Greyshirting is required these days because of the limited number of scholarship offers allowed, combined with the unpredictability of which recruits ultimately will sign. Given that reality, the press's attack on Nick Saban seems unwarranted and overblown." |
