And that seems to be ok. Instead of just throwing them out to kids who have no reason to be on the roster it's better to reward kids that contribute to the team and are good in the classroom and practice fields.

Agreed. Bielema has been pretty open about his goal to build up the walk-on system to be a pillar of our footbal program. Like you said, if we have 2 or 3 scholarships to give here and there to deserving kids who've earned it in the classroom and weight room, then I'm all for it.

It's better than the alternative of throwing out scholarships just to arbitrarily fill out a class rather than give them to kids whose character you've been able to gauge day in and day out.
