Yup, this is not fair to the non-scholarship players who are here 100% at every practice, this scholarship should go to a starter that is not on scholarship or the very least even a bench player who contributes 100%
to the program, V-Ball should be the one to give up a Scholarship to Tuileta. this is messed up.
If he's on both teams, football gives him the scholarship per NCAA rules.

maybe if they were all-americans on another UH sports team that's ranked in the top 10, then they wouldn't have that problem :P

A little bit more detail to add. The sport with more total scholarships has to award the scholarship to the student-athlete. Football has 85 while men's volleyball has only 4.5. If I recall correctly, Yuval Katz is the only men's volleyball player to receive a full scholarship. Everyone else has to split the 4.5, if they get anything at all. In Tui's case, I believe that he was a walk-on in volleyball upon his return to Hawaii. Rolo did him and his family a huge favor.

While I agree with the OP on most of his comments, I have to disagree on this one.

If you watch Men's VB, you can see how Larry Tuileta makes the team better as their libero, along with setter, Joe Worsley. Rolo gave Tuileta the scholarship knowing he was a dual sport athlete. It's currently volleyball season and he is contributing to the volleyball team. The Men's volleyball team has some serious chemistry this year.

If he is the athlete he was in HS, he could surprise and contribute to the football team once the season ends for the Men's VB team.

I hope he is able to compete at the QB position, as the scholarship QB's are still young and need to develop leadership skills at the D1 level.

He's not even listed on the Spring Roster

If I remember now, MVB had a bye week at that time? If so, good for Tui to be there.

Based on Hawaii's win over Long Beach who were previously 24-0 and "Tui" make BWC first team, it was a good move by the school to use the scholarship the way they did.

Football drives the program.
Men's Volleyball brings in little if not zero profit.
Our football team has really been going down hill in the past 8 years. The football team cannot afford to be donating scholarships to other programs or continue to give scholarships to players who have no chance to see the field.

True other schools do thus kinds of things, but they have depth at all positions.

Yes, good for Tui and the MVball team.
But we continue to STRUGGLE BIG TIME at QB this spring. I'm not even counting on the former SMU QB. All eggs are in the basket for Cordeiro. Just pray he never gets hurt

Interested in seeing some video on the former SMU QB? Go to Bing-Kolney Cassel football. 6'2" x 200 then. 6'3' x 225-230 now. Bulked up a lot.
Tutored under Cris Miller former JJ QB. Trained buy JJ. in the RNS. Tutored under Hal Mummy in the Mummy air rald as well.
Beat all passing records at his high school set by Cary Conklin a 4 year back up to Cal Ripen at the Redskins and all conference records set by Drew Bledsoe 14 year pro, pre Brady at New England.
Kids been a hard lucker starting from turning away all interest to play for JJ and the RNS to moving to Sac St. No OL there.
He has all the tools. Can he stay healthy?

Tuileta faces an interesting workload this summer. He is trying to balance the short term (being prepared for the 2018 football season) and long term (as one of the top 50 volleyball players in the country, he is a future Olympian). He will train with the U.S. national team this summer in Anaheim and (for a week) in Hawaii while also maintaining his football studies.
This is old news. Everyone knew volleyball was his ticket to the future. Why pretend and hope and pray he challenge to be the starting QB?

With volleyball season over, does he still need to be on a football scholie? Do we really need a part time , backup to be on scholie for "Locker room leadership"????

Time to move on from giving all the limelight to Tui.
