Newberry’s backup QB was better then GW’s. Splitting hairs I know lol. GW has zero scholarship guys. IMHO Newberry has a bunch of kids that think they should be elsewhere. Against us they were motivated.

I’m fairly certain that GW doesn’t offer football scholorships?

Yes it does. You might be thinking of Davidson?

I wasn’t 100% sure so I asked the season ticket holder beside me. He said they can’t afgord it and will drop the Pioneer League soon. His words. Should be easy to find out Cats? Your always on the ball I’ll defer to you.

Your always on the ball I’ll defer to you. I haven't heard anything about the Runnin' Bulldogs dropping football scholarships and joining Presbyterian into the Pioneer. While the Blue Hose are still in the Big South, they are in the process of eliminating scholarships and will join the Pioneer League in 2020, I believe. I know the tuition at Gardner-Webb is in the neighborhood of $30k per year, so that's a lot of $$$$ to fund 63 scholarships or whatever the number. They became DI in 2000 and joined the Big South in 2002. The only school in the SoCon that funds less than 63, is VMI.

The newberry QB is a local guy where I live and he would have been at Florida State if he had the grades. I can tell you with certainty they get the non qualifiers that would be at big time programs if they had grades. Either way though, it’s time to move on and worry about VMI who played ETSU close. Not that it really matters, but our good friend FUBeAR shared this about the Newberry QB: ...Newberry's QB's other offer was from (NAIA) Union College in KY and he had no issues with grades/test scores - www.heraldonline.com/sports/high-school/prep-football/article44483334.html - He signed with Newberry late - 4/20/16 and had 0 "Stars" - 247sports.com/Player/Greg-Ruff-78033But it doesn't really matter - we are 2-0 for the first time in over a decade, so I'll take every win we can get.

Gardner-Webb has around 50 scholarships (if they only gave full rides). In talking with a couple of their administrators and big supporters, they would like to be in the SoCon. They have excellent facilities....some are better than WCU's.
