To me if it's 25 than that should be the rule, no gray area.
Baseball has a hard cap of 35 per roster which kind of takes care of it and prevents oversigning.

Football has the 85 but I'm not sure why the 25 is not enforced the way it should especially when you have to cut down anyway to be able to sign 25 every year while managing under the 85 which usually attrition takes care of.

I believe in most sports, there isn't a yearly signing cap, just a roster cap. I know in some years there have been schools that have brought in an almost complete new basketball team

I'm not sure why the 25 per year limit is still a thing and they should look at getting rid of it. With the transfer portal now in place, just set the hard cap on 85 total and be done with it.
