Re: scholarships & 5/8 rule

[richard l. kandell]

It would have to be one of the first 2; if Moore is "red-shirted" he still
counts - unless he gives up basketball; Whaley has given every indication
that not only is he staying, he may well take his senior, and LAST, year
seriously; and I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the NCAA offices if they
tried to put White on a track scholarship while keeping him on the
basketball team.  I know that UC doesn't cover room & board for its
employees' children, but if he lived at home, all that would be left would
be food, books, and incidental spending money (which the scholarship
wouldn't cover anyhow).

As others have said, it will be interesting to see how this plays out -
especially if, as is likely, there aren't really any quality big men out
there for this year (& they'd have what, 4 scholarships for next year?).
