We can thank The Bear for this and his track scholarships. No?
Before the limits he just gave out tons of football scholarships. After the limits we had the full amount of football scholarships plus some people on track scholarships who just happened to be really good at football as well.

He's the reason if you are on any scholarship it counts towards football, so if they are on academic, honors, bell honors, anything like that it counts against the 85 total.

You'll see it lowered to 80 and the NCAA is expected to push for a rule similar to the Big-10/12 where if you have 80 on scholarship 15 graduating you can only sign 20 not 25. The oversigning days are numbered, it is being too abused right now and the heat is on.
