This has become a runaway train imo. The NCAA screwed around forever and now we are watching Silver Streak.

This would be disastrous. Though it appears to be unlimited scholarships for a 2 year period from another article I found. I will check the Athletic’s story.

Yes, they're looking at making it unlimited scholarships and unlimited coaches. John Kurtz made an excellent point on his channel last night. He basically said the type of competitive advantage a team would get from an ultra-prepared coach like Snyder is not going to happen anymore. Teams can basically hire night shifts of people reviewing tapes. It could essentially be a 24/7 operation for the schools that can afford it.

The big programs aside, this is also what Nebraska likely has been waiting for as a life line. A way to return back to some of the things they used to do.

the 25-scholarship per year rule for football should and will be done away with. the totals are not going unlimited in football and hoops. that's crazy talk.

The NCAA's Division I Council on Wednesday voted to remove the annual signing and initial counter limits that have prevented many FBS schools from having the maximum of 85 players on scholarship each season.

That move, which will go into effect on June 1 and initially last two years ....

"Some schools hadn't given out all their scholarships and felt constrained by the annual limit," West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons, the chairman of the Division I Council, said in a statement. "This temporary change provides schools more flexibility and adds opportunities for incoming and current student-athletes to receive aid."

The NCAA previously allowed Division I schools to offer a maximum of 25 scholarships (or counters) per recruiting class, up to 85 total, regardless of whether those scholarships are given to recent high school graduates or players who have chosen to transfer.

If more than 25 players left the team in a given year through graduation, transfer, NFL opportunities or any other reason, schools could still only add as many as 25 players. Any scholarship that was left over after a school signed 25 players went unused unless it was given to a walk-on, meaning it would not cycle out and be able to be reissued until the departing player would have exhausted his eligibility.

The NCAA temporarily increased that limit to 32 in September because of the significant number of players who, by virtue of having an extra year of eligibility granted at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, were looking to continue playing as graduate students. The ease in which players can now transfer, following the establishment of the transfer portal in October 2018 and the decision to allow them immediate eligibility in April 2021, has also allowed for increased movement.

Now, the NCAA is allowing a school to add as many players as it needs in a given class, provided it never crosses the limit of 85 scholarships.
