Reply to "NCAA D1 Rules Question for Redshirts"

It occurred to me that coaches may have a way to get around the restrictions of 27 scholarship players and which also alleviates some of the restriction around redshirting. Let's say a D1 coach offers 11.7 scholarships to 17 kids one year and then alternates the 11.7 scholarships to the other 18 kids the next year. So every other year, each kids gets 66% scholarship for what is effectively a 33% scholarship over 4 years. You would then have 35 guys on scholarship. And, if you wanted to redshirt players bring in a few walk-ons, you would have a pool of 17 or 18 players to redshirt without it counting against your 35 man roster (because they did not start the year on scholarship). Is that in fact a way around the current rules?
