Im on the fence with this issue...as stated above smaller numbers benefit those that are willing to put in the effort in to recruit.
On the other hand...im all for more kids getting an opportunity to not only attend college on the schools dime..but also to attend the school of their choice. 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. That part of me says...as many kids as a school wants to give schollys to ...do so.

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.
