Should a school like USC that is on probation even be allowed to recruit PSU players? Just doesn't seem right to me.
Good point. If it's any consolation, USC is still on reduced schollies so he may not have room for them. And if the NCAA does waive the limit rule for PSU players, then certainly they should stipulate that the waiver does not apply to teams on probation.
If USC does have room under their (restricted by probation) cap then recruiting the PSU players should not be different than any other recruit.
But if they need the waiver, they should not be able to get it. That would be VERY unfair. In fact, if there is a waiver and USC has to use it, other schools should protest. (Cough cough....Hart...cough cough).
