Last week, all 330 members of the NCAA (both individual schools and conferences) had an opportunity to vote on whether to override the NCAA's new proposal to allow multi-year scholarships. A vote of 62.5% was required for override - but the pro-override forces only garnered 62.12% - which equates to falling short by just two votes.

South Carolina voted "D" - i.e., Do Not Override, joining the majority of fellow SEC members (Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, Vanderbilt) as well as the league itself - which has its own vote. Alabama, LSU, Tennessee and Texas A&M supported override, as did Clemson. North Carolina and 34 other members did not vote; two abstained - one of which was Harvard.
