b.hayes Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I don't understand the restrictions on non-athletic scholarship athletes...is that a rule for basketball teams only or something? At the risk of sounding like some of our baseball players ( ), when I was a SLU athlete, on only a partial athletic scholarship, us partials along with all walk-ons who received $0.00 from the athletic department, were able to go on all trips, be fed on all trips, weight lift during the summer, etc. etc. SLU's compliance department knows what they are doing, so I'm pretty sure we weren't breaking any rules doing so. What gives? They play their sport inside? Doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows when KM goes off the floor we are all waiting counting the minutes untill he is back and we would like him to have his chance playing the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe its apples and oranges. Soccer kids can transfer and not sit out a year like basketball. With football and basketball, the revenue sports, the rules are simply different.
