Scholarship table
Likely sits4-4 vs 2-4
D3 athletes can get academic scholarships but not athletic ones. The NCAA actually audits D3 schools on occasion to ensure that athetes are getting roughly the same financial aid as non-athletes at any particular school.
All of the NESCAC schools are elite academically and it’s a great basketball conference too. I play with a number of guys who play(ed) NESCAC ball. If this kids scoring over 20ppg he’s pretty legit.
Would be awesome if MU could land the next Terry Porter.
That would make Wojo Dick Bennett. And one of Wojo's kids would be Tony Bennett. Then we'd be set with coaching for YEARS.
See the Kalamazoo College violation report on that. Athletic participation cannot have any role in awarding of aid to a student-athlete.
My recollection -- and you could probably verify -- is that even leadership roles in athletics (e.g., "four year team captain") cannot be considered for a scholarship based upon leadership activities. If my understanding is correct, that always seemed a little unfair to me. But, I guess I understand the thinking there...it would be a pretty significant loophole.
Until Marquette runs Wojo off to give the job to Chad Harris, ostracizing the Wojciechowski family and insuring his son will end up leading Boston College (by way of LMU) to a national title.
My understanding is the Bennett's harbor more more ill-will towards Indiana for the treatment of Kathi than they do for Marquette for ignoring KO's advice and not hiring Dick in 1994.
I was referring to the ill will the Bennetts harbor toward UW-Madison & the Platteville Posse. I'm taking the metaphor to mean Dick Bennett is to Steve Wojciechowski as UW-Madison is to Marquette.
Pedant time: Terry Porter was not a D3 athlete. UWSP was a NAIA school at the time (back when the NCAA allowed NAIA schools to be members of the same conference).
That could mean two things. ;-( ;-)

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Seems like they are usually eligible right away, but there are exceptions. From the NCAA website:One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a four-year school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:You are transferring to a Division II or III school, or you are transferring to a Division I school in any sport other than baseball, men's or women's basketball, football (Football Bowl Subdivision) or men’s ice hockey. If you are transferring to a Division I school for any of the previously-listed sports, you may be eligible to compete immediately if you were not recruited by your original school and you have never received an athletics scholarship.You are academically and athletically eligible at your previous four-year school.You receive a transfer-release agreement from your previous four-year school.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Pedant time: Terry Porter was not a D3 athlete.
FWIW, the school's website says Porter was a Division III All-American in 1985 (and also an NAIA All-American in 1984 and 1985).

Not that anyone asked, but here's where I generally come down on DII/III transfers to DI: Why doesn't it happen more often?Occam's razor would suggest that most DII/III players simply aren't good enough for DI, otherwise, they would at least be playing for a low-major somewhere. The handful of kids who are good enough are likely making a choice to go to a DII/III school for academic or personal/family reasons as opposed to riding the pine on a partial scholarship at Centenary or Oral Roberts.For lack of a better example, look at Rob Jeter... he could have easily started at any low-major, perhaps some mid-majors, but somehow got conned into playing for Coach Feratu at UW-Platteville (though did win a D-III championship).In short, DII/III isn't a stepping stone to high-major D-I like JUCO can be.... JUCO is a matter of kids being good enough fro D-I on the court but not good enough on their transcript. If you can't qualify D-I, you won't qualify D-II/III either.Moral of Story: There could always be an exception to the rule, but caveat emptor
So can you tell me how this is the case considering UWSP was an NAIA member until well after Porter left campus? He was on the teams that made the 1983, 84 and 85 NAIA tournaments - his sophomore, junior and senior years.I'm not being a smartass here. I just don't understand how that works. Did NAIA players qualify for D3 All American teams because they played in a conference with other D3 schools?
