You should also be happy with the signing of DL Steven Williams out of Quince Orchard HS. That young man had offers from Buffalo, Cincinnati, Toledo, Kent State, Sacred Heart, and Monmouth. Not sure why he signed with Shepherd, but it sounds a steal.

I don't say this as sarcasm but where is the coin coming from? As a whole I was under the impression Clarion was in pretty bad shape.

Not close enough to the specifics of it to speak to where the money Is coming from. They made an announcement at one of the games last fall, had a couple high level conversations about it but that's as far as it went. Huge boost for them, looks like their class totaled 37 covering 9 states with 9 mid year transfers and 28 high school seniors. Really solid across the board, the transfer guys add some serious size and speed to the roster. Big boost to have those guys on campus for spring drills, should be a very different looking team this fall.

- Redistributed existing men's scholarship dollars to prioritize football similar to what Cal and IUP have done

But it's been 10 years since this article and they haven't really gotten more competitive at the national level. If it were simply the number of schollies, Gannon and Mercyhurst would be dominant many years. Pennsylvania has more Division II football teams with 16 than any other state, and the pie gets divided a lot of ways. Most states have five Division II teams or fewer. New Jersey doesn't have a single Division II team. With a diminishing talent pool in Pa., I think the PSAC is going to have to cast a wider recruiting net to be successful. Some teams seem to be getting the picture.

I seriously doubt the scale works that way...Think about it. Is a university going to give an incoming freshman more money than a senior? Everything I've been told leads me to believe that you get more scholly $ as you progress through the program.
I do know from hearing kids talk back in the day there were incoming freshmen getting more than current seniors, mainly because those seniors got little money their first few years.

I believe each kid is different. If a current senior was offered $5,000 as a freshmen, there is a good chance that number is higher as a senior. Now if a freshmen came in and is only offered $500, that is a different story.

Add to it players aren't signed to multi-year deals. Scholarships are year to year. Just because you get money this year doesn't mean you are getting any next year (or you'll even be wanted on the team). That's the part of players 'transferring' you don't hear much about but it happens all the time. It's called a 'transfer' but the player has basically been cut or had his money pulled.

What does that have to do with the IUP Rule?

The article basically said now that the self-imposed scholarship limit had been lifted it was expected that the PSAC would start competing for the national championship on a more regular basis. That hasn't happened. The conference's problem at present is not the IUP Rule.
