Sorry. You lost all credibility in quoting that asshat.

I realize...but he is correct on this matter

Ummm. NO. Reading anything written by him only is a waste of time.

I trust you guys, but I'm kinda 'literal' and would love to see the rule (or NCAA 'ruling') that the games 'don't count' and these guys can play college ball 'free' for a year, and it not count against their overall eligibility.

The reason I pointed that out is it goes to credibility of the overall statement, and otherwise, I'm with grizzaholic Just because a guy posts it at AGS does not make it true without a reference to the NCAA by-laws.

Like this one:

Article 20.2.5.1.6 -- Division Members Counting a Restricted Opponent.

During the period of its restricted membership, an institution may be counted by its classified opponents as a member of the restricted institution’s desired division for purposes of the opponents’ meeting their division’s scheduling criteria; however, a
restricted member shall not count another restricted member for such purposes.

The NCAA includes both in FCS 'Strength of Schedule' -- they do however note under the general team statistics (also under FCS) that they are 'reclassifying'

Here's the link to the NCAA By-Laws (PDF) It's at the bottom of page 299, and was actually quite easy to find.

Not that I'm calling BS on a terror from Texas

You have me wrong. I could care less where someone got the information...but if it comes from Ralph Wallace or TT, you lose credibility and are not to be trusted.

Reading Fail, Grizza.

I think I just proved, as you noted, that TT is an *Asshat*
