Bowman breaks down the scholarship addition myth

[T-Dog]

2In regard to the transition, the Mountaineers do have seven more scholarship players than the limit of 63 for FCS football. It’s a requirement for the move to the FBS, and the reason for league-title and playoff preclusion this season. But, in reality, there is no significant advantage. Six players counted toward the scholarship additions were already on the roster and were either walk-ons or already on partial scholarships. Five of the seven are being redshirted and will not play this season. Of the four players added after national signing day, all four will have to or likely will sit out this season.

So we're playing with 70 scholarship players this year, yet none of the seven extras make us any different than a team with 63.
