Also noted in today's paper that Tulane announced that 6 of their BB players will transfer at the end of the year.

He was one of my football idols way back in his A&M days. Still can remember Kern Tipps calling the Aggie games " and Jack Pardee is having a Par--ty".

Just a thought, now that the Big East consist of 7 basketball schools, some with no football programs, and no football programs at the FCS level, What will happen with the Big East's automatic BCS qualifier. Will it automatically go to the new conference, will it become non existent ? Will it be awarded to CUSA ?

I think the NCAA should allow schools to sign kids to LOI between June 1st and August 1st prior to their Sr. year in High School. Most of the major schools would be finished with their recruiting and the kids could attend to business without the constant interference . No need to worry about students switching schools at the last minute or schools withdrawing offers. Perhaps, if the head coach leaves before the Feb. commitment date all players that have commited to that school can switch schools , however the school cannot decline to honor an offer already made.

With the new academic requirements in place, more and more high schools players will go the JC route. This will make recruiting the JC kids much more important . It will be interesting to see how many HS kids will find at the last minute this year that they not eligible to accept scholarships to 4 yr. Schools.

No he cannot practice with the team.

It has to be either the Big East or the Lone Star Conference.

Interesting article in the Dallas paper this AM on the new academic standards for incoming freshman this year. The article says that the projection is that 10% of the recruited freshman will fail to meet the new standards and will have to sit out next year or attend a JC to gain the necessary standards.

A walk on can join the team in the fall, a limited few can participate in pre-school practice. A Greyshirt cannot join the team until the second semester, they are given scholarships at that time, the first semester they pay their own way.

Seems to me that A&M played def. this year. Why not TT ?

And we thought we were leaving the Sun Belt.

Tuberville is classless. Pulling offers is bad enough, but not telling the kids is inexcuseable. Kingsberry, at Tech, has pulled some offers to kids Tuberville offered, however he called them as soon as he could.

Some of those have already enrolled at A&M , they will be counted with the 2011 class. Also one did not qualify academically and has committed to OU . I am sure there will a few more who don't qualify.

Redshirt ??

If I had a say in things Ark. State is the school that should have been admitted to CUSA. Their supporters have always traveled well.

Art Briles has not done badly since he moved to college.

He will have to sit out next year, unless he is graduating this year.

Didn't he withdraw from school right after the incident ? Either way he would have to lay out of football for a year.

Yet they accepted Texas Pan-Am ?

DKR had the same philosophy at UT.

Austin newspaper had an article on recruiting the other day , in the article they still have him committed to UNT.

I'm sure there are several who have taken advantage of the new 4 yr. graduate and transfer rule, the one that comes to mind is the Wilson kid who is now the QB at Seattle.

Right and A&M is enrolling several of them at Semester.

Anyone else notice that UT-Pan Am is joining the WAC conference next year ? I think maybe Ranger JC is next.
