I seem to recall a discussion about this two years ago, when I
wondered how RPI would be able to meet the 18-scholarship limit when
they previously had 20 and only scholarship athlete (Allan Kummu) was
graduating.  At the time, I was told that either there were some
partial scholarships involved and/or the one held by Cam Matches, who
had left without graduating earlier, was still vacant.  The question
about the 18-scholarship limit not being enforced yet did not come up
(although I thought that perhaps a grandfather clause might allow a
school that was not losing any scholarships to graduation to still
keep a higher limit).
 
I would be surprised to hear that the limit was not enforced in 94-95.
I am assuming that when Jayson wrote "this year" he means 95-96 as
"this year" officially became 95-96 after the 94-95 season ended.

Yes, what ever happened to him? :-)
