Bottom line. Tyger would bring something to the Boilers but unlike past seasons if he chooses to go elsewhere we are not irreparably damaged by his loss. Quality recruiting and depth is a good thing.
Tyger Campbell Update
- Thread starter boilernuke
- Start date
Since scholarships are one year, could a person be on football one year and then dropped and picked for basketball another? Just trying to understand the wiggle room if any
I know there is a helluva wrestler on the football team right now! Gelen Robinson was 3 time Indiana state Champ.

I know there have been many Purdue football players who participated on the Purdue track team. I don't see why a player couldn't be on a football scholarship and participate on the basketball or baseball or swimming team.
HOWEVER >>>>>>>>> Brohm has currently given out more scholarship offers than he has room for on the team. You may have noticed to add a WR, he dropped a WR and an offer to a WR. Our football team has no scholarships to give to somebody who would be primarily a basketball player.

Of course this is the NCAA, and the answer is not too straightforward. Keep in mind, these are the rules as I knew them about 5-10 yrs ago & things could have changed.
If the kid is a 2-sport athlete, the answer to your question is "no." As others mentioned earlier, the scholarship hierarchy is football->basketball->hockey (I think)->?. A football/basketball player like Charles Davis some seasons ago or a football/track athlete like Mostert always count against football. A basketball/baseball guy like Connaughtan at ND would always count against basketball, and on down the hierarchy. The intent is to not allow football or basketball to circumvent their scholarship limits by giving a football or basketball player a swimming scholarship. There are also compliance requirements like fully participating in practice that prevent a basketball team from doing the reverse and stashing an extra player on an unused football scholly (also why football players always need to join the basketball team after the football season is over & can't join at the start of the bball season).
If the athlete is just playing 1 sport in a given year, I think your proposed scenario is still possible. Nate Robinson at Washington is the example I can think of. 2-sport football/basketball as a frosh would have counted as a football scholly. He gave up football to focus on basketball and would have been on a basketball scholly the rest of the way.
Gelen only won two state titles. But he was an absolute beast on the mat.
Yogis mother was a doctor...not sure that is wealthy, but enough money to pay for Yogi to go to school like most of us do.
Yes, she's an anesthesiologist with a pain management practice in Indianapolis. Also, Alan Henderson's father was an Indy-based cardiologist. Unfortunately, I believe he passed on a few years ago.
Bob Griese played football, baseball AND basketball at Purdue. Think he dropped basketball after a couple years and picked up baseball.
During his three years of football (freshmen weren't eligible then) he was not only quarterback, but the team's punter and kicker.
Yes, and deservedly part of Purdue's football "Mount Rushmore" with Leroy Keyes, Rod Woodson, and Drew Brees, IMO.
Amazing even in that day. Hell, his parents must have lived at Purdue. I wonder how his knees are today? That's a lot activity with no rest on the body.
This is a great example of a thread that has completely gone off topic (not that there is anything wrong with that). I keep checking it for discussion about Tyger for some silly reason.
Well...teh money is a LOT more for an anesthesiologist than an MD...so yeah, she had big bucks
Tyger has a nice full head of hair. Is that better? Just doggin' you
We won't know anything more about Tyger today...but should know more tomorrow!
That’s more like it! PJ was saying that Coach Painter wants the guys to be well groomed, but he needs to let Tyger be Tyger (assuming he chooses Purdue). That’s the kind of hair that people don’t forget and which, if combined with great play, can help him build recognition in the Big Ten or even nationally (which only helps Purdue).Tyger has a nice full head of hair.

From Tyger Cambell's interviews:
“It is a great program. Sending Biggie (Caleb Swanigan) to the NBA, they send guys to the league, and having PJ Thompson leaving next year, that is a great look.”
“I just want to find the right fit right now,” he said. “I could sign in the fall and I could sign in the spring. Whenever I feel like I am ready.”
We need a study on the impact of hair styles of current players on future recruiting success.
Is it why Alford is recruiting well at UCLA? Can it help get Ball out of a Chinese prison camp?
Did UMass get better after Dr. J?
Has it helped Wole become a scout master?
This may help Tyger decide.

Maybe not on the mountain.........more like is a mountain! Loved this dude.......Mike Alstott was a bad, bad man
