SEC will fall behind the Big Ten with only 85 football scholarships allowed. Why do that?

I see the SEC was given the green light to go to 105 but they have not voted on it yet.

Good players transfer these days if they're not getting significant playing time and you think this could possibly impact a team? Your post lacks logic.

Why would you need schollies when there is NIL? Every kid is for sale now apparently.

All I'm saying is that if one team has only 85 players on scholarship and another has 105 then the team with more players has an advantage.

Wait a minute. I think I speak for most of us when I say we need a little more clarity here. Can you walk us through your hypothesis again?

You do realize only 11 players from any team can be on the field at one time.

What a condescending statement. You do realize players get injured, and having more players at certain positions could help you win a fricking game, should your players go down? You realize that, right?

Especially with the new OT rule that says, after the 5th OT with the game still tied, both teams pick up their axes and swords, grab their shields, and meet at mid-field to fight it out. First team to retreat back to their sideline loses. It’s going to suck if we have to fight 105 with 85.

The SEC could secure a big advantage by making classes optional.

Outside of sec teams, Ohio state is really the only school that could spend enough money on the back end to make those 20 extra schollies matter. And I honestly doubt they would with the transfer portal they’d just being paying and training solid recruits just to watch them transfer to Maryland or Wisconsin

Is this real? fricking Auburn coach may not know shite. I’ll talk to another SEC coach today to see.

bullshite to limit the roster to 105, with no changes to scholarships. Just kick 15 walkons off for no reason?

Ross Dellenger
@RossDellenger
The SEC has set a football scholarship limit of 85 for 2025, the league told
@YahooSports
in a response to a request. That is 20 fewer than the max (105) under the House settlement’s roster structure.

Schools may still have rosters up to 105 (85 scholarships + 20 walk-ons).



A reminder: Schools are permitted - not required - to fund scholarships to their entire rosters as long as they stay within roster limits imposed by the settlement.

Conferences can set their own limits within the national limits. No other conference has set football limits

Many of the new roster limits are lower than current roster sizes. Many walk-ons are losing their spots as schools begin trimming rosters to get within the limits.

Attorneys are planning to file a legal objection to the settlement over this.

The SEC is exploring its own scholarship limits for other sports as well, though those are not finalized.

Discussions in baseball, for instance, have centered on a scholarship limit of around 25 within the settlement-related roster of 34, sources tell @YahooSports

First off, wut. Second the number will be over 100, likely 110. 3rd great thread. I liked how you didn’t burden us with details.
