How do scholarship reductions work? Is it, instead of a cap of 25 in a year, we are limited to 20 or is it based on a total number ships going from 85 to 80.

How would it work if Ray Lewis wanted his son to be a walk on and paid his way? Would that be a standard walk on? Is it an issue for former players or wealthy folks in general to pay their sons tuition to benefit a program?

I am sure these have been answered many times, but would appreciate it if they could be answered again.

Thanks in advance. :drevil:

Scholarship reductions usually both limit how many players you can have in sign in a given year, and how many scholarship players you can have on your roster at any time.

As it pertains to paying for your walk-on son, that gets tricky. Sometimes the NCAA lets it happen, other times not. I have to find the NCAA article I read on this a couple years ago to give further details.

Great questions. Hope my answers helped

Why would the NCAA have a say in paying for your own kids schooling?
 
Ray Lewis can directly help offset a scholarship reduction by paying for his son's tuition. Buying back one scholarship lost by sanctions is not a bad way to donate to the football program

Denzel Washington was talking about when his kid was being recruited, Denzel called up the school and told the coach he would pay for his own kid's ride and to use the scholly elsewhere. The coach said that was nice and all, but the scholarship was earned by the kid, not given to Denzel.

The message behind it is if you want to the kid, you want the kid, period.
