I am looking for a definitive answer to the max amount a team can carry over. If you have 100k left over because you signed your 5 or 6 recruits on min effort is it correct that you can still only carry over 15k? Is 15k the max (after the 66% is deducted) no matter what amount you have left? Thanks!
Not sure where the 66% is coming from, but in your scenario, you'd carry over 25K to the next season. If you fill all your schollies, you carry over 25% of what's left. If you sign an ineligible and he decides to go to JuCo instead, that still counts as filling his schollie. So......there IS no set maximum amount that can be carried over to the following season. It's 25% of what you had after filling all of your schollies, or as AB pointed out, it's 100% (the 100% being tournament money accrued by the conference) if you had no schollies to fill.
That's why some coaches go with a 6/6/0/0 setup. They get three seasons worth of tournament money (the first 0 schollie season, the second 0 schollie season, and then the first 6 schollie season), plus the 6 open schollies worth of money. If you use this setup, and you're in a conference that always sends a lot of teams to the NT (and PIT, but to a much lesser extent, of course), you could be looking at a huge amount of money to recruit with for that first 6 schollie season following the two 0 schollie seasons. So, no, it's not correct that 15K is the most amount of money that a team could theoretically carry over.
