Why?

You are going to be sorely disappointed. There is no support within the NCAA for adjusting the 25 rule.

Making exceptions for transfers creates too much room for abuse, because players can be forced to "transfer" which would open up additional signees.

The 85/25 rule is to create competitive balance and to discourage attrition. What you are asking is for attrition to be rewarded.

We can't get to 85 right now anyway. Didn't LSU voluntary reduce the 85 scholarship limit in hopes of satisfying the NCAA?

You want to play 2020 over again and play 2021 with 54 players? That's a recipe for injury and further competitive disadvantage.

You can be fine with that, I guess.

You're acting like this is my decision. It's possible for me to NOT like that, but also be a realist and know that it won't be changing.

There are plenty of schools with the opposite problem. Why should LSU be rewarded for poor roster management?

And also, you don't know how how the roster will end up. Your numbers don't account for who is coming back or not.

You can imagine, if you like, to think that somewhere in all that, I have called this your decision. You're not thinking right and and continues to show here:

Losing players to draft/wokeness/quitting is not a roster management issue for 2020.

i have a better grip on who is coming back than you do. even though you call yourself a "realist".

I think you are derailing a par level thread and making yourself look silly.

What’s your point? Is your purpose here to lower expectations in case we look like dog shite next year?

Every other team seems to be managing just fine in this situation. Staff either remedies the situation and finds a way to win regardless of the roster management (or mismanagement) issues or they get fired

You don't need 85 active players to win in college football. There have been years where the bulk of the incoming class was redshirted, leaving 60-65 available players.

We were certainly too low this year, but having 70 available players is not that big of a deal.

Of course, but just the mere fact of having 70 is not a problem, at least for that year.

More is always better.

Go start some more irrelevant threads about rule changes that will never happen.
