re: Scholarship limits need to increase in college football

I don't think the NCAA is very likely to loosen the 85 total counters limit. If the limit were 95 there's a valid point that more kids could benefit by getting free college degree. However, a lot of schools' athletic programs can't afford 95 schollies. Also, it'd likely reduce parity, since the talent-rich teams could get even deeper with talent, leaving the other teams less talented.

I don't think they'll increase the 25 annual limits either, unless transfers reach the level where schools commonly can't hit the 85 total counters limit without resorting to awarding more than a few schollies to walkons. The 85 cap ÷ 4 years = about 21 departures/year. So, signing 25/year allows for attrition of 4/year.

Maybe they'd consider adding an exception rule for extreme transfer-out attrition -- to allow for some replacements that wouldn't count against the 25 limits. For example, a team might have a terrible season or HC departure, resulting in 10 outbound transfers, along with 25 graduations and early departures to the NFL.
