re: What's the story with Marcel & Ika

I posted this is the thread on the rant. Maybe Indiana Tiger still reads this board and will chime in.

Question on Brooks would he count again...

I don't believe he would, it's not totally clear, though.

15.5.1.10.1 Limitation on Number of National Letter of Intent/Offer of Financial Aid Signings -- Bowl Subdivision Football. [FBS] In bowl subdivision football, there shall be an annual limit of 25 on the number of prospective student-athletes who may sign a National Letter of Intent or an institutional offer of financial aid  and student-athletes who may sign a financial aid agreement for the first time.

First time signers are initial counters. I believe this is written like it is because scholarships are renewed each year, so, obviously guys don't count as initial counters in years 2-4. But I'm not sure if this resets when the athlete leaves a school, signs with a different school, then returns to the first school.

Edit: This makes it seem like he would count, since they make a specific provision for 2 year schools and make no specific provision for 4 year institutions.

15.5.6.3.7 Returning Two-Year Transfer. [FBS/FCS] A student-athlete who previously was an initial counter and who transferred to a two-year college shall not be an initial counter upon return to the original institution.
