66 players fill a 3-deep roster (of which many "3rd team" players won't play much if any at all...think about how often we've used the 3rd team linemen). Another 19 are allotted for developmental players.
This. Outside of shooty hoops, no other team can field an entire starting squad of full ride athletes. As one of the sports with 9.9 total scholarships, I feel no sympathy for a sport with 85.
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.
