25 to me never made sense as long as the roster limits are adhered to.

So is the next 2 years 2023-24 and 2024-25 or are they removing the 32 cap for this upcoming year which they set previously for 2022-23?

Never liked the 25 man rule. Especially in the age of the portal.

Bama processes the busts and signs 50 players each year.

Probably means we will sit on the 2 extra scholarships that were available with the 32 number, unless someone big comes available.
Can make up for it next year with unlimited numbers.

I know nobody will think about it right off the bat, but man this really screws over walk ons getting scholarships like they have been recently, since those dont count as initial counters.

Why give out scholarships to walk ons any more when you can just hit the portal and find someone with no initial counter limit. Obviously some good walk ons will still get schollies, but a whole lot less of them will now.

So Alabama will now sign all of the top 100 players. That should provide more parity.

It’s a good thing to help get a team back to the 85 man limit in light of the Portal and its’
Effect on Football Rosters.

It was implemented to prevent coaches from processing players.

Had good intentions, but the players aren’t loyal, so they don’t deserve loyalty or protection.

This, combined with NIL, will surely only have a positive impact.

This is going to be a shite show.
