How long before football rosters shrink down closer to NFL type rosters?

Let's face it, NIL collectives will eventually want to manage the amount of money they are throwing around at some point.
On top of that if revenue sharing comes to fruition, schools will look to cut costs of funding their teams or not having to pay as much in scholarships.
Reducing football would be the easiest way to budget or you are gonna have to start cutting the non revenue sports.

not going to happen.
in college you need the bodies.
in the NFL, you can go pick up a player off the scrap heap if you get thin due to injuries during the season.
can't do that in college.

It's already being talked abhout. You're no longer going to have walkons and you'll essentially just have an 85 man roster and that be all.
The PTB are hellbent on making CFB an exact replica clone of the NFL and it sucks.

I think they might actually get bigger. If the NCAA allows it, 25% of the team will be on NIL, so the schools can give out all 85 scholarships to kids that otherwise wouldn't make a team.

Thyre already in the process of eliminating walk ons. The writing is on the wall--college athletes will eventually be given employee status and get revenue sharing. They don't want to split the pie up to 120 players. Walk ons will go to FCS programs and try to portal up.
If the athletes are employees, you better believe there will be strict roster limits, just like the NFL.

Just the opposite is going to happen at programs that matter and are included in the eventual super league. Going to have entire squads of 3 and 4 stars who don't dress and travel like back in the old days.

NCAA is not going to have any say in the matter. The promoter of a nice collegiate basketball tournament no longer has any relevancy in college football....the courts have rendered them impotent to regulate anything and without some sort of quasi anti-trust exemption there is nothing that one school might do that can be stopped by one or a group of schools. It used to be pretty common for big programs to have huge rosters...some 30 or so will again sooner than later....

Unless you can go sign a free agent in the middle of the season when someone gets hurts, this won't happen. The NFL has a practice squad and a free agent pool to make sure their total numbers of players never changes.
The transfer portal would also have to go away to even think about shrinking roster sizes. Players would need to be locked into multi-year contracts

Here is why i’m not worried about that.
I dont see any player signing their NIL deal and then turning around and paying 29k for tuition out of it.
they are going to want tuition and room and board too.

The programs with money won't mind paying 120.....CFB is ALL about the money...and you gotta spend it to make it. There are 30 or so programs in a position to compete with money not being a consideration....the rest are going to either eliminate football or return to some sort of pure amateur model where they play with actual students who are paying for school instead of being paid to attend.

What would the impetus for schools to limit the rosters? Not saying it can't happen but I'd be curious to know.

This makes sense.
