Honest question; what happens if you over sign?

The NCAA has proven itself a toothless beast, running for cover at the very mention of a lawsuit. So what is there really to prevent a a school from taking as many players as they want in a cycle?

No one knows. Multiple teams are over signed. Us, UCLA…last year Duquesne had 16 guys that played significant mins.

This is what I'm thinking. They can't do anything at this point. I'm sure Purdue found a loophole though.

Well the NCAA still runs the NCAA tournament so in the short term they could block participation in said tournament.

But what's the upside of setting that precedent? You just create a system where scholarship limits don't matter and ultimately that helps very few teams and I don't think Purdue is one of the ones it does help.

And only 5 guys can play at a time, with 1 ball, so that tends to naturally clear things up most of the time.
