Good for Cormani. He is young, immature with a ton of natural talent. If he is not coddled at UF, maybe he grows up in college and becomes an outstanding player. He was not the right person to have in the Buffs locker room where culture and transformation are aligned with high expectations, no room for a guy to be hiding in the restroom during practice.

What about a storage shed? Asking for a friend in Celina.

Maybe he wasn't hiding in the restroom. Coach Prime learned from Manning and told Cormani to stay there:

thanks

reading up on this, meals are and were an allowable part of scholarships, but CU was giving walk-on's the same meals as athletes but only charging them for normal student dorm rates. the NCAA considered that the same as undercharging for tuition and viewed it as an attempt to get around the scholarship limit by giving walk-on's those benefits. I guess that's aligned with what the NCAA was trying to accomplish with scholarship limits back in the day -- they weren't saying the walk-on's couldn't eat the same meals, they were just saying walk-on's had to pay (full price) for them like other non-scholarship students.

and I'm totally guilty of being a lazy ****

NCAA rules are as arcane as they come. If the NCAA actually had any backbone in enforcing them there would probably be some lawyers specializing in fighting about it and we would have more information.

I did a deep dive into this a couple years back and even then the information available was sketchy but showed how ridiculous the NCAA is.

BCS level schools are allowed up to 85 full football scholarships. Unlike lower divisions these scholarships cannot be divided over more than that number of players.

In addition they can have walk-on players. A limited number (don't remember the exact number) are designated as preferred walk-ons. Beyond that number a different set of rules apply.

The preferred walk-ons are allowed to participate in all organized team activities and have access to team support resources such as academic support, training staff, weight rooms, etc. and to participate in team activities such as meals etc. They are expected to pay for their tuition, books, fees, lodging, and any meals outside of structured team activities.

The non-PWO walk-ons are not allowed access to team resources and activities from the end of the season or bowl game until a specific date prior to the start of the next season. Usually this is a couple of weeks after the fall camp has started.

Now with NIL if a school and it's boosters wanted the scholarship limit could effectively be the 85 plus the PWO number since a booster could provide the walk-on player with the cost of tuition, etc. which would get paid to the school to cover those things that a walk-on would normally be expected to cover.
