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. <snip> > > Which brings us back to the question of Joe Juneau's brother.....
