The people that will eventually be the most harmed by this is the 3 star type players in high school. The number of full rides being handed out will be reserved for high 4 star and 5 star rated players. Teams will not need to have 15-20 3 star players in a recruiting class. It is now a game of horse trading in the portal to form yearly rosters. The 3 star guys who used to make up at least half of recruiting classes at most schools are now going to get offered partials at Georgia State , Louisiana-Monroe, etc..

In the past 4 recruiting cycles, there have been a total of 1,741 players ranked at least a 4* by the 247 composite.

There are 133 D1 football teams with 85 man scholarship roster. That comes out to 11,305 Division 1 college football players on scholarship each season.

Maybe you meant major conference. If you mean Big 2(SEC/B1G) then there are 34 teams at 85 men, or 2,890 major conference players.

Is that not right. ACC and B12 could be considered major conferences at least for now, so thats 67 schools, or 5,695 players on scholarship.

Please let me know your work and how you got to the point that 3 star players will be the most harmed in this. Roughly 1750 4 and 5 star players in school per 4 year cycle. Over 11,000 total players in D1 annually.
