I don't know why this piece of misinformation bothers me so much. Schools can choose to give a partial scholarship in the counter sports(FBS, MBB, WBB, VB); there's nothing preventing them from doing it. There isn't a good reason in the vast majority of cases, but they still can do it.
For an example of a rare case where it could happen, consider this:
School A is using it's full amount of MBB scholarships(13). Player A does something bad, but not quite bad enough to get kicked off the team. As part of the punishment, School A reduces the scholarship to Player A from full, to half. There's nothing in the rule book prohibiting this. However, School A cannot give that scholarship to anyone else, as there are still 13 players on School A's roster that are receiving scholarships. So there would be 12.5 scholarships being given out to 13 players for that semester/year.
Another possibility would be schools with major budget problems. Say an FBS school that is trying to cut costs everywhere. This School B can only afford the minimum 76.5 football scholarships instead of the 85 maximum. School B could split those 76.5 scholarships out among 85 players just like a fully-funded FCS school does with their 63.
Seems like having a good team the school and community would support for the entire season would be the goal every year. Most likely this would yield conference championships more often than not. Dave is overly focused on players learning his system, which has not yielded the desired outcome to gain community support. It is undoubtedly difficult for young players to think the system is more important than winning. Basketball isn't like football where you get to regroup every 30 seconds. Dave is probably missing the forest for the trees.I don't see a bunch of happy faces on the floor or the bench. Maybe the end result will achieve someone's goal for the season. Right now it's a headscratcher.

And, don’t believe everything you think—jussayin’.
Liberals of BV need not respond to my posts. I don’t need to get any more dumb.
Like most I had very high expectations for this season but sadly I think disappointment is coming. I mean how in the actual hell is this happening? Sure having great team culture is important but being able to run an actual offense or should I say learn from past mistakes to make your team better is equally important. Every game seems to be the same: get down by 15 early and try to claw back at half then play lights out for 10 minutes and have a 4 minute scoring drought because there is no adjustments made ultimately losing to teams we should not be losing to let alone being close with the roster/talent that we have on this team.
Run the damn ball!! PRO FBS
Last year’s tourney appearance was fools gold and, long term, kind of unfortunate. After so many years the reality remains that Richman has ZERO signature wins and plenty of really bad losses. This team has officially no resemblance to the Braun, LA era and isn’t a quarter as much fun to watch. New stadium, first tourney win, should have been best recruiting ever and a new bar set. All of it was completely wasted.
Had a conversation with a buddy the other day who had talked to a former player. The player said that Richman was responsible for the success the Bison had while he was an assistant. For some reason he now isnt doing what made him successful. He can see what he is doing but has no clue as to why he is doing what hes doing. What Richmond is doing or attempting to do makes no sense to him.
Just thought I would pass this along.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
