Message: [QUOTE="Dublin, post: 4620268, member: 9634"] Coach Prime at Colorado has publicly stated that he will change his football roster for 2023-2024 by rescinding some scholarship offers from incoming freshmen and by updating his existing team roster. [MEDIA=youtube]3bb4Kb2FN4s[/MEDIA] According to NCAA rules ( [URL='https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/reports/pdf/searchPdfView?id=105291&businessCode=BYLAW_SEARCH_VIEW']Bylaw 15.5.1.7 “Aid After Departure of Head Coach"[/URL] ), if a player on an existing scholarship decides to stay at the school and does not play during the season, his scholarship will be honored but his scholarship will NOT count towards the team limit. For example, if a new basketball head coach has 12 scholarship players on his existing roster and 3 scholarship commitments from incoming freshmen, the HC can rescind 1 or more incoming scholarship commitments and can identify 1 or more existing players that they will not play the next season (the assumption is that the HC will 'encourage' those players to enter the portal so that they can continue playing basketball they love and so that the school does not incur their scholarship cost). The HC can offer new scholarships to other incoming freshmen and incoming transfers. The HC simply can only play 15 the next season. Existing players will have their scholarships honored, but the only basketball they will be playing is pickup games around campus. [/QUOTE]
