Speaking of 85, are we even at 85? Thought we were 82-83 range, before transfers.
Bama typically starts seasons at 85, by awarding schollies to walkons if needed to hit 85. Per the NCAA Bylaws, FBS schools must start with 85, to be eligible to use the midyear replacement option that allows for counting early enrollees against unused prior-cycle signing & initial counter limits.

It bothers me that for the sake of parity (aka money) the NCAA put a limit of 25 per yr. If you have grown up a Bama fan and are a good football player...just you happen to be...#26 you either have to foot the bill yourself or go to another school. Not that Bama doesn't want the kid....just not allowed to offer him, and finances what they are....he generally has to go somewhere else.
Everybody doesn't get or deserve a trophy. If you're the 26th option for a team, you simply have to go where the jobs are open. Are we in the business of preparing young people for real life, or coddling them for the sake of their own desires?
Also, it's not a money reason, it's a Title IX reason.

Do you plan on adding the same percentage of extra schollies to a women's sport as well?

I agree but Title IX will prevent it.. we are running out of girl sports to equal out.. unless we make bitchin a sport..lol
Took a while for the obvious to come out. Girl's scholarships would have to be increased, or else decrease the other men's sports.
You wouldn't have to add a sport...you could just add scholarships to the existing sports. But the cost is going to be huge for most NCAA schools.

So you're going to add even more women's scholarships to make up for those baseball scholarships.

Why not? I'm sure adding one more woman's sport that doesn't bring in any positive revenue wouldn't hurt.

What the fricking NCAA needs to do is this: you want to bump football scholly numbers? That’s fine, go up to 100. But to compensate and balance for fairness and to comply with Title IX, you have to increase non-revenue/Olympic sports scholarships by the same number on both male and female teams, not by creating a new sport/team but by adding to what you already have. To assist, the NCAA is increasing scholarship limits in baseball, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, volleyball, tennis, golf, etc.

As if the transfer portal isn't busy enough these days. Let's increase the allotment to a hundred entitled Millenials all trying to get on the field.

I don't think many Millennials are still in college. Time to stop calling every young person a Millennial.

By definition: Howe and Strauss define the Millennial cohort as consisting of individuals born between 1982 and 2004.
Guess were going to have to put up with the terminology for a few more years.

Most people consider Millennials to be born between 1981 and 1996.

So what you're saying is that today's football players were raised by thousands of entitled Millenial fathers and mothers?
Given that words convey thought, I can live with the difference.

I was born in '87. If I had a kid at 18, the kid would only be 14 today.

Not sure you understand how Title IX works. If you add 15 football scholarships, you'll have to add 15 FEMALE ONLY scholarships, not "increase non-revenue/Olympic sports scholarships by the same number on both male and female teams."
Adding 30 full athletic scholarships would cripple many college athletic programs.
