JUCO K Jamie Sutcliffe [Nebraska Preferred Walk-On]


Good for him...though that could be an issue for the football team. He'll switch to count against the 85 limit if he kicks in a game. As a walk on he could have played and not impacted the 85 limit. Either we lose 4 players between now and the fall or he's not playing this fall.

 
Not sure how that is going to work. He might have to decline it. Or he can use it if it doesn't end up working out with the football team.

 
Are you sure it isn't just tuition-based scholarships. I highly doubt that all the walk-ons pay for everything out of their pockets

 
I guess there is an exception that he could get the scholarship without counting against the limit if he doesn't play.

15.5.1.1 Football or Basketball, Varsity Competition. In football or basketball, a student-athlete who was recruited (see Bylaw 15.02.8) by the awarding institution and who receives institutional financial aid (as set forth in Bylaw 15.02.4.2) granted without regard in any degree to athletics ability does not have to be counted until the student-athlete engages in varsity intercollegiate competition (as opposed to freshman, B-team, subvarsity, intramural or club competition) in those sports. (Revised: 1/16/93 effective 8/1/93, 1/11/94, 6/20/04, 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11, 1/18/14 effective 8/1/14)

Yeah but as soon as he plays he will count, as a JUCO I doubt he doesn't play this year.
