re: Signing and Roster Maximums

You're basicly right on the rules, but not exactly complete and you're possibly taking a point out of context. First, it's possilbe for Jan entrants to be applied to the previous year as long as you didn't have 25 signees that year and you were under the 85. I'm not sure how the 85 is managed, but the point is that there are circumstances where you can legitimately add more than 25. WRT releasing athletes form scholarships to be able to add new signees, usually people are talking about how to get the roster to 60 in the first place, not how to exceed 25.
