How's it going Panther Dudes

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

I was just thinking that Anderson is gonna have to be damn good to keep Rayon Simmons off the field.....but then I just checked the roster....and he is no longer there....wtf

I believe Rayon transferred to Winona State (DII) when he was told that he was not a lock for an invitation to fall camp. That surprised me because I thought that everyone who received at least a partial scholarship would be automatically invited to camp but apparently that is not the case. Does anyone know what limits the number that attend camp? Is it an NCAA rule or money or what? Not everyone gets to travel to Kinnick either and that also surprised me as it is just a bus trip. You would think that they would try to take all the kids who normally dress for home games as a reward for all of their hard work. That would be a pretty huge motivator ... getting to run out on the field in front of 70K people.

I'm pretty sure that the NCAA has a maximum number of players that a visiting team can bring along, which is smaller than the allowable number for home games. But I don't know the specifics.

What's up DUDE.....thanks for checking in.

Lewis is gone but Law will fill the position well.

O-Line will be solid as usual. Biggest question mark is our defensive backfield. We are favored to win the MVFC with our toughest games being SIU and NDSU.

I would add @SDSU as one of our tougher games, the week after SIU too.

Don't know about D1, but at Wartburg, be it a D3 or IIAC rule, only 53 are allowed to travel.

The MVFC has a similar limitation, according to it's bylaws.

4.5.1 Squad Size. Squad size shall be limited to 60 players on the road for
conference games. Non-participating players and other personnel
must be issued one of the allotted sideline passes. Squad size shall
be unlimited at home.

But I don't know if that applies to non-conference games.


And I know for the playoffs, there is a maximum of 60 players (70 players for the championship game) in the "official traveling party".
