i think keeping track of schollies would be a terrible job. iirc, they are allowed 85 chollies total. then they have to keep track of graduation, missions, red shirts, and other (medical rs ect). then something like m. tonga having grade problems when they expected this to be his final year, and the parameters change. then there are the kids who don't come back after a mission (ie b olsen) or a kid coming home early and transfering because there are no schollies available (iirc the last one was filiaga), and you have a very fluid situation.

what is the most irritating to me is that this year there is the biggest blue chip class of lds kids i have ever seen, and we are sitting on a short stack of schollies. that's unfortunate.

I think you are right...all of these play into the scholorship ferris wheel. There are tons of senarios to play out. Keep in mind also that Bronco has several walk ons that receive scholorships as well. I am sure that when one comes available they would go to those folks first. It's a commitment thing. When Bronco tells a walk on that when one comes available, I am sure he won't hold it to give to a new recruit. Tonga's probably went to a walk on that had an outstanding spring. That's just my guess.

So did Tonga lose his scholarship? If so, does he automatically get it back if he becomes academically eligible again?
