How many scholarships?

[No Quarter]

Assuming everyone returns, how many football scholarships does SMU have to give next year?

Are any walk-ons or transfers who are practicing this seaon likely to receive scholarships?

Good question. I have heard that if no one transfers or quits, we will have 18 scholarships available for 2003. If that is correct, it is a pity because we appear to be developing a very good 2003 class. Even worse, I have heard that if no one leaves, there are only 10 scholarships available for the class of 2004. It is a pith that Bennett won't be able to sign a full class the next two years becuse these coaches can obviously recruit.

I'm not wishing ill will toward anyone, but I bet a few guys transfer or retire (injuries?) before Signing Day, and some more before next year. Bennett will get some players in here.

I'm not wishing anyone bad fortune either, but if Bartel is under a cloud as reported on both boards, it may be that another 'ship opened up yesterday.

Does anyone know if that's true about Bartel? Or just a flame?
