| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bone Yard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Humph Day edition of the yard. A lot to talk about, a lot to report, a lot to discuss in relation to Mississippi State sports. You know, I don't know if you're aware of this. There is a proposal before the Division I Council that is being voted on today that is a permanent resolution. |
| 0:24.6 | It is not one of these COVID-19 deals that, you know, it's just going to be temporary, |
| 0:29.4 | kind of like the relaxation of the roster limits in college baseball. |
| 0:34.1 | But is his college baseball related? |
| 0:36.1 | So as I understand it, and I admit I haven't |
| 0:38.6 | seen all the proposal, I'm getting some of the secondhand. Okay, so please, please, please, |
| 0:43.8 | bear with me. But Kendall Rogers shared yesterday that the NCAA Division I Council is going to vote |
| 0:52.1 | to allow partial scholarship sports, including baseball, to be able |
| 0:57.5 | to stack financial aid. What does that mean, Steve? Well, I'll tell you. I'm glad you asked. |
| 1:02.9 | So for partial scholarship sports to prevent teams from circumventing the scholarship rules, |
| 1:13.7 | they would not allow you to recruit an athlete. |
| 1:17.7 | Let's say you go, let's say that, you know, my kid, Anya Robertson, who was a great all-state baseball player in Louisiana. Thank you very much. So let's say they recruited |
| 1:23.4 | Ani to go play baseball at Mississippi State? Well, if Ani had an academic scholarship, |
| 1:32.4 | well, then that counted. So it's like you couldn't recruit him as an athlete and then put him |
| 1:39.3 | on academic aid only to kind of circumvent the 11.7. And so now you're going to be able to do that. |
| 1:47.0 | So let's say for an example of a kid gets a partial academic scholarship where before |
| 1:52.0 | that kind of impeded your ability now it gives you the ability to reward those kids on the |
| 1:57.6 | academic side and then save your 11.7 baseball scholarships for other kids and so |
| 2:04.0 | people said and I've read some things to and again let me again let me preface this by saying I |
| 2:08.8 | haven't read the full legislation but I've read some people say oh no this is going to give |
| 2:13.6 | Vandy a bigger advantage no it's not this is Vanderbilt's worst nightmare. This is, |
| 2:18.5 | well, other than if the NCAA closed loophole on need-based aid, this is a huge, huge blow |
