Husker recruit Justin Black drafted in 4th round by Braves

Good for him. The kid wanted to be a pro baseball player no problem with that.

I do have a problem with the B1G Ten's joke rules. This puts a hurt on the program for the next four years. B1G Baseball pisses me off.

 
Here's a link to answer your question:

Also: The current BIG recruiting guide for all sports regarding oversigning and when scholarships are available. (In short, the BIG states the scholarship counts until the student graduates or upon the end of eligibility or in baseball, until the end a a four year term.)

See the below BIG purposal to the NCAA below:

NCAA Division I Awards, Benefits, Expenses

and Financial Aid Cabinet Report

September 21, 2010

Page No. 3

_________

(6) Proposal No. 2010-74. The cabinet agreed to oppose Proposal No. 2010-74 as written, which would, in baseball, specify that for an ensuing academic year, the combination of executed athletically related financial aid awards and outstanding written offers of athletically related financial aid to prospective student-athletes and student-athletes shall not exceed the maximum number of permissible awards by more than one equivalency; further, to specify that the overage may be divided among not more than two individuals (student-athletes or prospective student-athletes). The cabinet noted that recent legislative changes in baseball addressed some of the concerns noted in the rationale. The cabinet also noted reasons for allowing oversigning vary amongst campuses and that, as a result, issues related to oversigning should be addressed by each campus.

Notice the NCAA opposed the current BIG 10's baseball scholarship policy as it is entirely to restrictive.

I didn't realize it was that bad that a guy who doesn't even show up on campus counts against us for 4 years. Is that really the case? From the link and another column I read, it sounded like the issue was guys who leave after 3 years, you can't use their schollie in the 4th year when they are gone.

 
Yes it really is that bad however, Black's scholarship will not count against us but Ehler's scholarship would have had he not transferred. The biggest issue is the "over signing" done by other colleges.
