Especially for Baseball it will give a lot more kids a chance to make the show.

Is roster size going up?

The 435

Jul 24, 12:24pm

Not needed in many sports. Many roster players are on small partial scholarships

Not in football, sounds like scholarships going up to 105, but that also

So more of the talent will go to more of the top teams?

Jul 24, 12:25pm

No, most sports will still play with a single ball and a fixed number of players

Possibly but there will still be the matter of playing time

Depends on NIL, playing time, and so many other factors.

I would have expected this to go down after all the ruckus regarding paying

Baseball and softball are tripling and doubling, respectively. That's a massive

Imagine how many more QBs we can add to the roster

I doubt basketball teams will fill all 15 scholarships. Some top tier programs

You almost have to with the unlimited transfer rule.

I think this is a bad thing for football and basketball.

Definitely for football. Bringing the number to 85 brought parity

Jul 24, 12:53pm

I don't think it will change much. Being scholarship guy #103 on Alabama would get old very fast for a capable P4 player

You lose 1-2 years before they transfer and start heavily contributing

I wonder how this will work with Title IX, more scholarships in football

They’re factoring in that thousands of trans chicks will soon be absolutely dominating women’s NCAA sports.

The Title IX impact on men’s sports like wrestling, volleyball and soccer will

probably to offset the reduction in roster sizes across the board

Will this have unintended consequences?

Of course. Not yet sure what but everything NCAA does creates them

After reading about the change more I see that it is power five conferences.
