Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2009249, member: 285"] Because we would have had to declare in advance that we weren't going to use the scholarships in anticipation of being penalized, not after you didn't find someone to give them to ask the NCAA to count that as a self imposed reduction. So the last possible credible point to have done that would have been late August 2014? But I don't see that as being particularly credible. Until this past season, I can't remember us ever adding players to our roster that late. We announced the NCAA tournament participation ban in February when it was still plausible for us to have received an invite. In other words the self imposed penalty was arguably a penalty at the time that we made the decision to impose it on ourselves. Not awarding unused scholarships to a walk on that is already on the roster, isn't really not using a scholarship in a penalty sense (except for the walk-on not receiving the money). [/QUOTE]
