How Will The 85 Scholarship Limit Work Now?

We all know spring football was a poison pill to keep teams from playing games in the fall and will never happen. Spring isn’t happening either, 20 plus games in 10 months isn’t happening. 
 

Assuming the sec, big 12 and acc play at least a part of their schedule, how does this effect the 85 limit and recruiting? If all the kids who didn’t play this season are given an extra year of eligibility how would we be able to add any new recruits come national signing day?

If we had a class of 20, that would put us at 105. I’m not guessing the sec, acc and big 12 teams will think it’s fair to allow the pac and big 10 teams to have over 100 scholarship kids on roster. And if the number is increased, title ix would require more women’s sports teams being added at a time when schools are broke. 

Its not a one year fix either since all 85 kids will most likely be given another year of eligibility. Expect to see the Nebraska recruits getting very anxious and looking to jump to sec, big12 and acc teams, that  would for sure have open spots. Warren has led very poorly with not having the protocols in place and the numbers thing is a complete mess, not a fan.

NCAA rules limit # of games per year and also only allow extra year eligibility IF player participates in one or more games, upto 50% of max allowed) and is prevented 

from completing rest of the season by Covid cancellation.

I believe Big Ten & Pac 12 are not

able to get another year as the conferences chose not to play at all.  NCAA wanted schools/athletes to try to play before granting  free year.  NCAA WANTS CFB, etc.  

 
The issue is yes the ncaa gave the kids who do not play another year of eligibility, but there is no exception to the 85 rule.

So unless 20 kids drop we will not have much of a recruiting class. Expect a class size of maybe 7-10, we may have to say no To any new targets and no to some that are already committed. 
 

If we get Fidone, who do we rescind an offer from?

Hmmm, the automated options don’t seem to answer the OPs question. We’ll stay on the line and wait for a representative.

Huh, weird.  Looks like OP changed the title name.  It was originally titled how will this affect recruiting.  *shrugs*

 
Does It really matter? The post content is about a structural numbers issue and possible catastrophic problem that will affect the program for years thanks to the decisions made this week. It’s not a recruiting profile.

McCoy, OT from Michigan just declared for the draft. There will be attrition by the guys that know they’d go pro anyway...robbing universities of talented humans, athletes,  civic minded kids, teams, and growth of young people. 
 

Only a RFr he’ll forego any season in

the spring or next fall, and basically train and wait a year for this absolute bulls#!t  of a lockdown and cancellation to be over then get on with his professional life. 
 

how many high school players and college alike, will do the same? 
 

Top HS players just won’t play their senior season,  commit to a school, train and be under watch of that school until joining when this BS is over. 
 

Top college players will start to drop out of any “hey, we can do spring!” season and subsequent fall season and just wait to get drafted. 
 

meanwhile...kids who need film to go even D2 or juco will be left with bad offers or no chance at all. 
 

Non-athletes who need labs, good grades, teacher recommendations, interns at colleges, studies, and SAT scores above norm will be left “learning” from a box on their table at home. 
 

the idiots in charge are now full on making our society more stupid, lazy, unproductive, left behind, and awkward socially. And dependent. 
 

every human needs motivation. We are giving them none. 
 

talk about dominoes, we are witnessing the fall of them. The idea to protect ALLLLLL people from an illness,  is and will bring more harm then living our lives. 
 

let the fallout begin...

 
Are we (Big 10) against giving kids a free year or is more of giving the kids who ARE playing this year a free year?

 
So “any” may or may not include NONE.   Why are they playing word

games?   Because SEC ACC and Big 12 want a free season with no

eligibility loss while cutting the “no play” bush leagues out.  

lol

Interesting chess move.
