That's because no one wants to walk on at TCU, because it cost a bajillion dollars to go there.

This is incorrect.

One of my best friend's roommates walked on at TCU.
I'm sure mommy and daddy paid for tuition too.

That is probably correct.  He wasn't very smart.

It's one thing to have walk-ons, it's another knowing what to do with them.   :billdance:

Kansas football coach David Beaty faces numbers crisis in first season

Among the penalties: scholarship reductions. According to the sanctions, which came down in 2012, Penn State could only offer 15 football scholarships per year — 10 fewer than the maximum allowed. By the 2014 season, the program would be limited to just 65 total scholarships — 20 fewer than the NCAA maximum of 85 for football.

The NCAA would ultimately lessen the punishment, but in the short term, the Nittany Lions felt the pain. In 2013, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, they began the season with just 66 scholarship players — an unheard of number at the Division I level.

“This really is (like) a six-year sanction,” said then Penn State coach Bill O’Brien, when discussing the scholarship reductions.

Two years later, another college football program is approaching the fall with fewer than 66 scholarship players. This program is not under any NCAA sanctions. This program has not run afoul of the NCAA rule book — at least not in the last decade.

This program is Kansas, and it counts 64 scholarship players on the roster this summer, a stunningly low number for those who follow college football.

FCS schools only get 63 scholarships, so they still have an edge against SDSU in the opener.

Zero JUCO recruits left from 2013??? But what about #dreamteam2013 ?!?!



It's probably because your typical juco recruit only gets to play 2 seasons.

How is it the best decision? Is it because you only have to worry about them being distracted during one sports season?

I really enjoy how the bot sniffed out how most KU fans operate, just buy the t-shirt.  Note it doesn't say Jayhawk alum or student.

Anyone who buys this really needs to reevaluate every other decision that have ever made.
