The NCAA will move to increase scholarship limits as part of an agreement that will be filed on Friday according to a report from Ross Dellinger at Yahoo! Sports. The move will increase the limit to football scholarships a program is able to grant from 85 to 105. Men's basketball adds two scho

This ain’t good.

Although it won't apply to ISU, the baseball change seems odd -- 11.7 to 34?

Odd for one is I don't know what 70% of a scholarship is ... but mainly, why such a large increase?

Can't say that's a good move.

Especially for basketball. Would rather see WBB reduced to 13 than men's go up to 15.

This ain’t good.

Yeah, totally unnecessary, and big schools will go back to stashing players deep on the roster that would have gone to other schools.

Kids want to play. Obviously, collecting NIL money wouldn't suck, but being stashed would. Will hurt FCS teams a ton.

Does it really matter? Isn't the "salary" cap what really matters, at this point?

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Getting real close to turning out the lights on anything below the P2?3?4?5? level.

This is a deathblow to the lower levels from a competitive standpoint and this is only the first domino, wait until they come after autobids and splitting up NCAA tournament revenue in the same way they split the CFP revenue.

I take it no changes in wrestling ? Since I don’t know how many scholarships they can have, I might have asked a dumb question.

 

[CloneJD]

This makes recruiting the portal well even more critical.

Does Title IX apply for all scholarships at each school (meaning if they increase say football, they have to increase a women's amount too?) With ISU being tight on funds, I would think we wouldn't increase our scholarships if that is the case.

 

[Malty Flannel]

Funny timing as the past few weeks Williams and Blum have been saying football needs to decrease scholarships to 55

Isn't increasing baseball scholarships an objectively good thing for ISU?

Right now, all of the men's sports below FB and BB are on equivalencies. For example, wrestling splits up 9.9 scholarships among the entire team (35-40 on the roster).

If I am reading the proposed rule change correctly a big piece of info that is missing is that total roster size for football is going from 125 to 105. It is just now all 105 can be on scholarship.

So the Alabama's and Georgia's of the world will now get to offer 20 more scholarships to players, and that is supposed to help schools like ISU how?

What was wrong with staying at 85 scholarship players and then each team could have up to 20 walk ons on the roster?

Best thing for CFB is to reduce the schollie limit from 85 to 75.

Per the original article, ALL sports will be equivalency going forward:

All sports will be considered “equivalency sports,” meaning partial scholarships can be distributed to players.
