And he knows more than you. At least 3 of your top 6 recruits will not qualify. If you stick at 35 and lose 3 to JUCO, then he may only have to yank the scholarship offer from one of the commits. He has already done that once this cycle. What is yanking a few more scholies among friends?

You're a true conversationalist with a flawless strategy. If anyone questions you, just say "you're an idiot and don't know anything." That's brilliant. You avoid answering any questions by simply insulting the questioner, thereby putting them on the defensive. You must have been captain of your tech school debate team.

It's just a philosophical difference. The coaches that do it apparently are fine with telling a kid, hey sorry but you were just an insurance policy in case so in so didn't pan out, or sorry we mis-evaluated your talent level, you gotta transfer somewhere else.
I can see why Saban yelled at reporters " you don't need to know about this stuff, the people don't need to know." Clearly Saban was worried that people would dig a little deeper on this issue and discover Saban's losing battle with integrity. Then, several Alabama players said they were forced into taking a medical hardship and it confirmed that Saban had stooped to the lowest level.
I was hopeful that Kiffin would go the Saban route, considering what a scumbag Kiffin is according to tBB I figured he might go for it , just temporarily to make up for what the Nzaa did. But sadly, even Kiffin has too much integrity to stoop to Saban's level. Which is really low. Makes me wonder- any of you guys know if Saban is part-dwarf?

Sure it has. Look at it this way:
Say Ole Miss (sorry rebs..er..bears or whatever) takes 38 LOI's. And instead of 24-25 qualifying, 29 qualify. They can't take 29 in the fall, so 4 kids that have already lined up roommates and have moving plans get screwed. This is unacceptable. In the past, there were always caveats (and we used them too), in that a couple of guys knew going in that they may have to wait until January to enroll (i.e., greyshirt). These are usually kids that really want to be at the school, and probably are willing to walk on over a lesser scholarship elsewhere. Sometimes this isnt the case, but still, they know about the possibility. So, say we'd sign 28, 2 didn't qualify, 1 greyshirt, problem solved. Kid still gets to go to Bama, just has to wait 1 extra semester....and he knew it in advance.
Under the new rules, Ole Miss or Bama can only sign 25. So if they all qualify, they all have a spot. Period.
Let's say 3 of the 25 don't qualify. You can bring in 3 early enrollees the next class to make up for last year's losses. Obviously, they can't be hurt by it, because if they're enrolled, they already qualified. Come February, we can still only sign 25. So under NCAA rule of 25 scholarship limit, there is no chance that a kid can qualify and get unexpectedly left out because a school oversigned and somebody watched baby Einstein and passed remedial summer algebra.
Let's say Tamu suffered through a class because of a coaching change and a bad season. So they only brought in 17 players or whatever. Let's also say they're at 79 scholarship players w/ 22 graduating and 4 early NFL entries. They can bring in 32 kids during this academic year as long as 7 enroll early. (I just made up the numbers, but it makes the point)
I know you see this as a huge competitive advantage, and I suppose it can be if your conference doesn't practice it. However, there is nothing at all wrong with it as long as kids aren't getting abused to make it work. It's just good management within the rules.
