The NCAA treats it similar to a walk-on on academic scholarship. If he's not a recruited athlete, he won't be a counter until he actually plays
Except this would be a recruited athlete

I understand how it works. I just think it's a load of crap.

Nope, but Tennessee should get one for his son's efforts

IIRC, the NCAA has said they won't allow new ones, but Bryant Scholarships are grand-fathered in. FTR, the scholarships go to kids of Bryant's former players the overwhelming majority of which don't play sports
But, yes, you can start a Dooley scholarship you just won't get the exemption from the NCAA

You would think so but the NCAA defines a recruited athlete as one who takes an official visit or is visited by coaches off campus IIRC

If a kid is committed, he was recruited.

NCAA rule book has a definition for everything

That's a pretty outdated definition of a recruited athlete. This would fit the NCAA pretty well, of course

20 years from now, Auburn will have the Jake Holland scholarship designated for 1 white linebacker per year.

And the definition that Trey posted says that the prospect can be recruited and still not be a counter so I could well be wrong about that

That's a fair point. I don't think the Bryant Scholarship is the only one out there though. I think there were others that were grand-fathered in.
At any rate, I doubt there will be many, if any, more since the youngest of Bear's former players are getting up there in age

Let me guess, a thread full of those questioning the Bryant Scholarship? It is available to all kids of former players than played for Bryant. Athlete and non-athlete alike. And for a bit of trivia, there's actually one kid that got the scholarship who's father didn't play for Bryant. He played at TCU and was injured against Alabama in 1974, Kent Waldrep.

Explaining the Bryant Scholarship
Matt Scalici TideSports.com
With a month to go before National Signing Day, many recruiting fans are anxious to learn more about various different aspects of recruiting and athletic scholarships. One issue that often leads to plenty of confusion for Crimson Tide fans is the Bryant Scholarship, a special scholarship available to the children of those who played or coached for legendary Tide head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
But how does the scholarship work and how does it affect the scholarship numbers on the football team if a player attends UA on the Bryant Scholarship?
According to the UA Athletic Department, the Bryant Scholarship is not considered a sports scholarship since the criteria of the scholarship are not based on athletics. It is awarded to any student (athlete or non-athlete, male or female) whose father played or coached for Coach Bryant.
Under NCAA regulations, the Bryant Scholarship technically qualifies as Institutional Financial Aid under NCAA Bylaw 15.02.1, which defines "financial aid that is administered by an institution, if the institution, through its regular committee or other agency for the awarding of financial aid to students generally, makes the final determination of the student-athlete who is to receive the award and of its value."
For those who don't speak NCAA, that means that since the Bryant Scholarship can only be used by students to pay for their education at Alabama and no other school, it's considered institutional aid.
If a football player has already received a full athletic scholarship, he cannot accept the Bryant Scholarship since it would put him over the financial aid limit for an individual student.
The biggest question many fans have regarding the Bryant Scholarship is whether or not a player attending UA on the Bryant Scholarship counts against Alabama's scholarship limitations. The answer comes down to one factor: was the player recruited by Alabama's coaches?
According to UA, if the player in question is a walk-on football player who was not recruited by UA's coaches, that player will never count against Alabama's scholarship numbers, even if he plays in every game for all four years.
If the player was a recruited walk-on, a student-athlete who was recruited by Alabama's coaches and who receives the Bryant Scholarship, that player does not count against Alabama's scholarship numbers until he sees playing time.
The NCAA makes the determination of whether or not a player should be considered "recruited", and each individual player is judged on a case-by-case basis.

It's an academic scholarship for both male and female offspring for all of Coach Bryant's players. Joe Namath's daughters and Kenny Stabler's daughter used the Bryant scholarship.
