The NCAA needs to address the 25 signing limit.

This limit should really only be for high school prospects.
With all the new transfer rules, if opt outs become a thing, and kids leaving early for the draft; teams need to be able to pull transfers and judo guys with out a hit to the 25. If you have room under the 85 scholly umbrella you should be able to use it to help replenish the losses. Ye so understand good coaches do better jobs than others at retaining players and roster management. But maybe have it where transfers and juco have their own limit either together or separate. Like 3-5 every year. Or maybe the limit should be based on upper class man left on your team after every year. Do something other wise you will end up with more years like this where the product on the field is not as good as it should be. When team rosters get decimated like LSU’s did and they produce the season they did this year it looks bad overall. And you as a whole lose money.
Also expanding the playoffs would help with less opt outs.
That’s my recruiting rant.

I like it the way it is. Otherwise, it's just going to be the rich getting richer.

No
College Football already has tons of rules that benefit the elite schools
If anything, the scholarship limit needs to be LOWERED to spread the talent throughout.

Up until the last few years players weren’t bailing in fall camp in droves weeks before the season because they lost the starting job. You need to be able to bring in a replacement in these cases, and with these transfers happening so far after signing day currently you have to leave signing spots open if you want to bring a guy in months later even if you have 5 open schollys.
That doesn’t even include the risk you take that a guy you sign doesn’t qualify.
I’d be open to a transfer count being separate if the high school count as a starter rule.

Yea, they need to reduce it and reduce the 85.

high school and juco should be part of 25
there should be a separate cap for transfers, which would likely require some sort of limit on cut scholarship players as well
can't just sign 20 transfers and cut 18 kids

Yeah if anything I can see the day the NCAA goes the baseball route - spread the talent out more.
25 is more than enough to meet the 85 man rosters and with a 85 man roster so many of those kids never see the field.
If anything to lower costs for university athletic departments, NFL doesn't have huge rosters and they manage fine.
Obviously you don't want to take away opportunities from kids but they did exactly that with baseball.

you would still have an 85 cap so it would help teams get back to that number quicker, but not allow multiple 30 signee classes like the old Nebraska days of the 70s when they had 100+ scholarship players.

If you lower the number of scholarships, there will be more transfers. You can take that to the bank. Just wait until coaches like Kiffin or Saban start getting high 3 star and low 4 star athletes to go to USM or UAB for a year of free development and weight training, only to transfer to the big school when a spot opens up the next off season.

Every college should sign up to 28 with 2 gray shirts

Slow, check out my MSB thread. Would love your input

Baseball doesn't have the amount of injury as football, you need those extra bodies, as far as NFL that's all about saving money.
Posted on 12/16/20 at 9:01 am to nicholastiger
NFL teams have 90 guys. 53 for gamedays, but when guys get put on IR they can call up guys from the practice squad. College programs don't have that option.

I’m cool with this. I don’t want the 85 limit to go away. Bad optics there

Up until about 10-15 years ago baseball used to have essentially free agency which is where football is moving. I’m not sure why they changed the rules but I think coaches were tired of developing players then having them transferring to greener pastures.

85 is perfect. All your doing is allowing programs that are not P5 type schools to get better players. Why should LSU and SEC schools try to help for example, ULM, LA Tech, Tulane and ULL. They shouldn't.
If anything, keep the 25 signing limit from HS/JUCO but if your short on the 85 with the Graduate transfer rule, have guys like Burrow in 2018, Liam and Jabril this year count against the 85 of course, but not the 25.
