The East is still a mystery - but I've shared multiple times that there are some alternative strategies common for the East that don't count for athletic aid. These alternative strategies are offering housing & meal plan waivers as an athletic recruiting strategy. A housing & meal plan waiver dollar for dollar is equivalent to a full tuition scholarship. Since the waivers are also available to non-athletes, it doesn't count as athletic aid.
If an employee's kid is there on employee tuition waiver, it doesn't count. If an athlete also has an academic scholarship, it doesn't count. If a 5th year has a grad assistantship that waives tuition, it doesn't count, even if that assistantship is working in the football office. SRU has a program that discounts out of state tuition for students with a 3.0 high school GPA that doesn't count. They can also apply for a waiver to get full PA resident tuition that doesn't count.

It's all very confusing, but I'd be shocked if West Chester, with its resources, is spending less on football than Ship. If the figures quoted are accurate, a couple of things are noticeable. It's not hard to see why the PSAC is getting aced in the national playoffs recently with those kinds of scholarship numbers. And you have to wonder why Mercyhurst and Gannon don't do better if they're truly giving out that kind of scholarship money.

In a nutshell, what you're saying is that 'scholarship report' is a crock of shiz.

Whoever is saying they do not want Naszhir Taylor #11 at IUP either doesn’t know the game of football or just does not watch. FACT. #11 is one of the best corners in the whole region. FACT.

Bottom line is if super region 1 was like the other regions they would also have strong national presence with 36 scholarships. I have said on this site before the PSAC west big 3 would be unreal with there coaches and history of solid recruiting. In the case of IUP there facilities also are a hindrance and they stay deliver.
This also affects fundraising and attendance. There are only so many people willing and able to attend or donate to small college football so we split ourselves more.

Not to interupt the Shepherd scholarship discussion ... but, some takeaways from Tort's show last night:
* Jack takes questions from fans in one segment and the first one was why Houser didn't play. Tort said he was available and could have played but didn't practice much last week. He also said J.D. Younger had a great week and was ready to go as RB2. He stressed they are really trying to get Houser up to 100 percent.
* Aside from some bumps and bruises, the team is healthy. Tort said all who played at Cal should be ready for Saturday.
* No answer on the Tyrone Fowler medical redshirt but Tort said they will explore it.
* He's still fuming about the clock situation before IUP's finally TD.
* He praised Sexton's play and said few QBs in D2 could make some of the throws he did Saturday.
* He said the OL performed well against a non-stop blitz and Sexton's quick release was key.
* When asked if revenge is on the mind this week, he gave the perfect coach speak answer and said they won't even bring up last year. I call b.s. on this topic. Lol.
* Hilton Ridley, Coal Bowl MVP, was the special guest.
