The NCAA would not have started any penalties for 2013. We have known for a while 2014 would be the start date. It isn't a surprise we got LOIC so it is something that could have been planned for.
Your not getting it at all. Also, we have dismissed most of your argument i.e. The stuff on Moore and taking plan C guys (Griffin and Elder), but you will likely continue on but who cares since it is a slow day at work for me.
I have other info that tells me if we had offered Moore earlier we would have got him. I am fine with plan C guys but we don't need 5 or 6.
Here is a scenario:
Lets say we anticipated the NCAA giving us -4 per year for 3 years. That means we have 81 total scholarships to give out starting in year X (depending on when the punishment will start 2013 season or 2014 recruiting year). I know they wouldn't start for this 2013 class but...
To be smart the staff decided to take 4 less kids now (this class) and get ready to start the 2013 with 81 total ships. The staff could have taken the additional kids in 2013 but decide to be smart and be ready for the future.
Now that isn't how it works. They would limit the amount we could take in a said year. Look at the way the sanctions were given to penn state
"For next season and through the 2016 season, Penn State can only sign 15 recruits a year. Most teams can sign 25. Starting with the 2014 season, the Nittany Lions can only have 65 players on scholarship until after the 2017"
Notice they capped both total and yearly amount.
Then on a random day after NSD, we get served with our NOA and it is utter BS (According DS and the school). So they say *** it. Lets use all the ships because we will fight this because of the lack of support for the NCAA's Case for LOIC. This is relevant and after NSD, things change
So you saying that suddenly after conducting a vicious investigation that lasted 2 years the NCAA is suddenly going to cave in? We may get off lighter because of things but we are still lossing scollies.
On a side note: Please show me the sentencing guidelines for the LOIC, please show me them and how to prepare. I don't think we even believed we would get LOIC but I am sure the school and admin had some ideas that we are not privy too. The way they are fighting this would lead me to thing that the NCAA went to far and overstepped greatly.
The thing is the NCAA does what it wants, and until someone stops it they will continue to do so. It is really whatever they feel like and I don't think they like us very much.
I think it is time to agree to disagree.
