Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 5050316, member: 1559"] That is not what the football scholarship increase is for. Players 86 to 105 are the current walk-ons (some schools have more than 105 players on the roster) and this brings stability to their former walk-on programs. All teams want to have a scout team so they can have productive practices. Mora has complained about the lack of practice depth and giving the walk-ons scholarships is the right thing to do. Schools are already paying for walk-ons coaching, food, medical care,... so the only additional cost will be the scholarship. That said, increasing the scholarship limit will not change the fact that most players won't play and they will continue to look for greener pastures through the portal. [/QUOTE]
