Dannen said about 40-50 football players are receiving revenue share money initially. He said Nebraska hasn't upped its scholarship offerings in football up to the 105-limit, believing that there is more value in investing in the top 50 or so players on the roster.
"Reality is, nobody is going up to 105 that I'm aware of," Dannen said. "If players don't play, they're going to go somewhere else to play."
Nebraska will be in the 120s in terms of roster size this season counting players who are grandfathered on rosters. He said Nebraska trimming its roster is actually a good thing for those in the football program.
