NCAA to increase scholarships for sports, with football getting roster limit of 105 players (Yahoo)

“As part of the new revenue-sharing model — beginning in 2025-26 academic year — by-sport scholarship restrictions are eliminated, and schools are permitted to offer scholarships to the entirety of their rosters. The new roster limit figures are not final until the approval of House settlement terms.”

That's all well and good but title ix will still apply to those

Hopefully sports like baseball & hockey at UConn can keep up.
Baseball adding 22 schollies is crazy.

You think the portal is crowded now……

Wait until the SEC and BiG load up on top recruits and then shed what they don’t want.

That's already true with NIL

55 people will now be on full scholarship for a sport called tumbling. In other news I just found out that there is a sport called tumbling.

No they won't, it's the maximum amount, not a mandatory allotment

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who walked on at Alabama, is "sad" walk-ons could go away as the NCAA settles its antitrust lawsuits, including the House case.

It's a slough category to have a sport to allow for men's sports to have more schollies. You should recall some of the equestrian scandals due to poor treatment of horses as schools needed to have more women's schollies to satisfy title ix

This is moronic. It just further fuels the fundraising arms race that every school finds itself in as the brave new world of NIL/portal takes shape. Now the tin cups will be rattling louder given that 105 scholarships will have to be paid for.

I wonder if any of these new "extra" schollies will be bestowed on the sons of big donors in exchange for a sixth position slot on the QB depth chart? Next I wonder if this was the whole point.
