Another Possible 2014 Recruit - Noah Robotham


Recommended Posts

Below is from the NCAA bylaws (counter means the person's scholarship counts against his team's limit). My interpretation is that the only time an injured player's scholarship does not count against the team's limit is if it's a permanent injury that ends the player's career. That results in a medical exemption where the athletic department continues to pay the student's scholarship without it counting against the team limit. But if the player returns to his team, his scholarship is retroactively counted against the team's limit for the time he was out. In other words, you can't sit a player out a season even for medical reasons (medical redshirt) in order to add another scholarship player to the team. In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a licensed attorney. :)

15.5.1.3 Counter Who Becomes Injured or Ill.

A counter who becomes injured or ill to the point that he or she apparently never again will be able to participate in intercollegiate athletics shall not be considered a counter beginning with the academic year following the incapacitating injury or illness.

15.5.1.3.1 Incapacitating Injury or Illness.

If an incapacitating injury or illness occurs prior to a prospective student-athlete's or a student-athlete's participation in athletically related activities and results in the student-athlete's inability to compete ever again, the student-athlete shall not be counted within the institution's maximum financial aid award limitations for the current, as well as later, academic years. However, if the incapacitating injury or illness occurs on or after the student-athlete's participation in countable athletically related activities in the sport, the student-athlete shall be counted in the institution's maximum financial aid limitations for the current academic year but need not be counted in later academic years. (Adopted: 1/10/91, Revised: 3/26/04, 9/18/07)

15.5.1.3.2 Change in Circumstances.

If circumstances change and the student-athlete subsequently practices or competes at the institution at which the incapacitating injury or illness occurred, the student-athlete again shall become a counter, and the institution shall be required to count that financial aid under the limitations of this bylaw in the sport in question during each academic year in which the financial aid was received. (Revised: 4/26/01 effective 8/1/01)

A San Jose State fan has taken notice of Noah's mention of the Zips' long string of 21+ win seasons influencing his decision to choose UA:

Provincialism

If charged, I would have to plead guilty.

To provincialism.

In basketball.

Regarding San Jose State University.

Just the latest example is reading a while back that Las Vegas point Noah Robotham decided to go with Akron University.

What the he....?

Rubber City over Silicon Valley?

The Zips over the Spartans?

35 degrees in January and February -- after residing in Vegas?

The Mid-American Conference over the Mountain West?

Yes, but then there is this:
