wow that's huge

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

Is roster size going up?
The 435
7/24/24 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?

Yes, good for current BYU basketball, bad for current BYU football. That is 680

7/24/24 12:32pm
No, most sports will still play with a single ball and a fixed number of players
dYrtbYkerYder

Possibly but there will still be the matter of playing time
fattycoug

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

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

This is not necessarily good for BYU Football. For basketball I would say yes.

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
Mostlyaccurate

I think most basketball teams will absolutely fill it.

I think this is a bad thing for football and basketball.
Pobs
7/24/24 12:44pm
Definitely for football. Bringing the number to 85 brought parity
deliciousmocha
7/24/24 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
mulletino
7/24/24 12:58pm
You lose 1-2 years before they transfer and start heavily contributing
deliciousmocha
7/24/24 1:00pm
But guy #103 will definitely choose Alabama over BYU. So instead of player X
kimdaddy35
7/24/24 1:08pm
Not when guy #103 makes $100K at Bama or $300K at BYU + playing time. BYU will play this to its advantage just as
mulletino
7/24/24 1:11pm
I don't think BYU will be paying guys more than Alabama. I guess we will see.
kimdaddy35
7/24/24 1:15pm
Well, you also didn’t think we’d be paying Kevin Young $4.285MM and Demin $1.5MM for 1 season. Also, starting in 2025
mulletino
7/24/24 1:36pm
I know it wasn't. All of BYU's NIL money is coming from donors currently, not
kimdaddy35
7/24/24 1:48pm
Yeah but that’s exactly what I’m arguing. Profit sharing with athletes is already being worked out. Not news.
mulletino
7/24/24 1:55pm
Yes, at that point BYU will be able to compete if it wants to for Alabama scraps

I wonder how this will work with Title IX, more scholarships in football
Big Tuna
7/24/24 1:00pm
They’re factoring in that thousands of trans chicks will soon be absolutely dominating women’s NCAA sports.
mulletino
7/24/24 1:41pm
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?
jr0b44
7/24/24 2:41pm
Of course. Not yet sure what but everything NCAA does creates them
Bluforever

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