Arrival/Departure list 2025-2026

Remember that there's no more spring portal window. Either you're in the portal by the end of the day this Friday, or you're not going into the portal this year.
Players can still transfer without going into the portal. I don't know the implications and differences of going into the portal vs not, but it's apparently a thing that can be done.
 
Not everyone. Last yrs. new players are not grandfathered in.

Update: Only the incoming freshman from last year are grandfathered in.

We had to choose our 105, then the remaining were tagged as a "designated student athlete" (they could be any year). And those DSAs can exceed roster limits throughout their eligibility.

In order to transition to the new roster limits, schools will “designate” student-athletes who were either removed or would have been removed from the school’s roster due to the implementation of roster limits. Those student-athletes will not count against the roster limits at any school for the remainder of their eligibility. “Designated student-athletes” are those student-athletes who were either 1) on the school’s athletic rosters as of April 7, 2025 for the 2024-25 academic year or 2) an incoming Division 1 athlete who was recruited or promised by a school a roster spot before April 7, 2025 for the 2025-26 academic year. A school’s ability to exceed the roster limit with respect to designated student-athletes remains the discretion of the school. Participating schools were required to report a list of its designated student-athletes by July 6, 2025.

This is a different rule in regards to grandfathered roster limits. Last yr., NE submitted a list to the NCAA of players that would be cut due to the change. These players can participate, yet they dont count toward roster limit. These players are grandfathered until they leave or run out of eligibility. Most of these were freshman to max. the ruling.
