Did some research as many have had the following questions.
1) Could God's Gift be given an academic scholarship and not count against the 13 scholarship limit?
Essentially No but there is an exception. If he played right away he would count against the scholarship count. In order to not count against the scholarship limit he would need to sit out a year AND achieve a GPA of 3.3.
