15.5.6.3.2 Recruited Student-Athlete Entering After Fall Term, Aided in First Year. [FBS/FCS] A
student-athlete recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) by the awarding institution who enters after the first term of the academic year and immediately receives institutional financial aid (based in any degree on athletics ability) shall be an initial counter for either the current academic year (if the institution’s annual limit has not been reached) or the next academic year. The student-athlete shall be included in the institution’s total counter limit during the academic year in which the aid was first received. (Revised: 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)

Last sentence basically is a count forward. This is why you can’t just live by a single bylaw. There’s thousands of them.


Or, in other words, an early enrollee.

Bottom line, there is no such thing as a "count forward" for Fall 2020 enrollees. You can't count them towards the 2021-2022 year. They must count towards the 2020-2021 year.

that's why they can enroll ONE DAY after the fall semester begins...

ANd I now understand why there is an ENTIRE DEPARTMENT that stays on top of these rules, etc
 
Burrow transferred to Louisiana State University (LSU) on May 20, 2018. Burrow had graduated from Ohio State in three years with a degree in consumer and family financial services, and would be immediately eligible as a graduate transfer.



Burrow first received LSU financial aid in Summer 2018. Thus, he could count towards the 2018-2019 academic year, or the 2017-2018 academic year, depending on how many IC slots LSU had left.

This is NOT the same situation as trying to enroll both Walker and Williams for Fall 2020.

Incorrect. It doesn't matter what day of the year it is, you have to put every (fall) football player in one of two categories. This year, or last year. Not next year. There is no next year for people who first get financial aid in the fall.

The rules have been provided, you just keep citing things that are not the case.
