NCAA is expected to approve increased scholarships across multiple sports

105 in football sounds very excessive. I wonder our coaches preferences if they had a say in the matter?

Several, but not enough to buy you a Natty.

But maybe just enough to keep someone else from reaching out to get their "natty"

The increase to 105 in football without also increasing the roster limit will not have too great an effect beyond the added expense of the extra 20 scholarships; it will simply convert 20 former walk-ons into scholarship players at schools who choose to fund them all.

For schools like us, it simply gives us a few extra scholarships that we can use in the rare event that more quality recruits are available. I am not certain, but I seem to recall that the limit on signees per class is now gone, so long as you stay under the limit of total scholarships allowed.

Recruiting is now different, but not necessarily more difficult than it was before this increase in scholarships allowed.

They wont simply pay those walkons, they will first try to get better "scholarship" caliber players.
Then when those walkons "go down" to a different school, that school is now having to pay for walkons

More money having to be spent on scholarships leaves less money for branding efforts

Painting the scene for a historic day.

NCAA & power conferences will file later today the long form agreement in their settlement.

The 10-year deal ushers in athlete rev-share, abolishes scholarship limits & creates arbitration for enforcement disputes. Implementation 2025-26.

If scholarship limits are abolished, we go back to the 1960's, when major schools had 200 players on scholarship in football. The only difference is that there likely won't be freshman or JV teams.

No athletic money is being "spent" on scholarships, if there were there would be an Athletic/Academic event every year where the check was handed over.

Going forward good chance athletic money could have to be used if wanna up the scholarships

Only if the school feels the athletes are displacing paying students.

There is always the push for endowed athletic scholarships but that money bypasses athletics already. There is no handover.
