OF, you missed the prior thread on this! https://thecardboard.org/board/showthread.php?tid=21381

As far as we know, this discussion was happening for a couple years now. According to Shaw in a presser, Covid weirdness and the paucity of students on campus for the spring made this the perfect time for a "test run." It seems like something he wants to stay, and hopefully not just a one-off. (And would be big for our recruiting - we've missed out on studs because they were dead-set on enrolling early.)

Sorry. Was just reacting to the email I received and figured it was newsworthy because it came from an official source.  Should have realized it was put out on the internet long before the message I saw was sent and checked board to see if it was already discussed.

In any case, how do other schools on quarters do early enrollees for football? Will Spring Practice start before Spring quarter does, so Spring enrollees will only get the second half of Spring Practice? And even if they aren't enrolled, what prevents them from working with the Football program in some unofficial capacity before they are enrolled?
