        It is about recruiting and retention Dinglewood 6:05pm · 1/9/19

        Didnt Tony Rice attend the school across US31, next door to St Mary's? WoodstockIrish 12:01pm · 1/10/19
        
        Rice came straight to ND (I think you are thinking Holy Cross) 86domer 12:38pm · 1/10/19
        
        That is correct. A prop 48 student would not have gone to a junior college... Irish_Demon 4:24pm · 1/10/19

        What exactly is a gray shirting practice? WoodstockIrish 3:04pm · 1/9/19
        
        Bama and many top programs practice what you describe, but that is not gray shirting. Irish_Demon 5:13pm · 1/9/19
        
        Keep in mind too WoodstockIrish 12:03pm · 1/10/19
        
        Absolutely right. The financial hardship is why so many enroll in junior college. Also... Irish_Demon 4:40pm · 1/10/19
        
        In-state tuition at Bama is over $10,000 per year. Out of state, around $30,000.Link Napoleon 12:15pm · 1/10/19
