15 scholarships coming?

[OrangeXtreme]

Sources: NCAA to increase scholarships for sports, with football getting roster limit of 105 players

As part of the new revenue-sharing model, by-sport scholarship restrictions will be eliminated, and schools are permitted to offer scholarships to the entirety of their rosters.

Why no more for lacrosse?

This is just as bad for mid and low majors as NIL and the portal

But it doesn’t change the number of starters or add playing time to games. So we get two more projects on the bench?

Who transfer after the season. Yup.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Why give football more? So the elites can go back to stockpiling the best? Dumb,

 

[jordoo]

Yikes, I don't like it. Teams with money will be able to buy players to sit the bench that other teams would actually play.

I haven't read up on it, but I'm guessing it's at least in part due to a downtick in HMs recruiting high schoolers. Kids who would have gotten a chance to develop on the bench aren't getting recruited now.

Add more scholarships and don’t expand the tourney. More kids can take part in the post season from the bench. Every kid’s dream I’m sure

 

[OrangeFair44]

At what point do we bring back JV squads? Keep the talent in house and developing

15 is a waste of scholarships for basketball. You will always have at least five guys sitting in practice and it will put an end to walk ons. I didn’t want more than 12 in high school. It’s adding $200,000 + to the SU basketball budget. Waste of time and money. I doubt many teams will carry 15 scholarship players.

Every sport will have the option to increase the number of scholarship athletes. It's a matter of economics and priorities. The numbers for lax (M & W) will be announced at some point.

Settlement Documents Filed in College Athletics Class-Action Lawsuits - NCAA.org

Formal settlement documents were filed with the Northern District Court of California Friday to advance the settlement approval process to resolve class-action lawsuits

www.ncaa.org

The Settlement​

The settlement addresses three primary issues: payment of back damages for claims relating to name, image and likeness (NIL), academic-related awards and other benefits; increased benefits from institutions to student-athletes going forward, including additional NIL opportunities for student-athletes directly with the institution; and eliminating scholarships limits in favor of roster limits.

• The settlement calls for total back damages of approximately $2.78 billion, to be paid over 10 years, equating to approximately $280 million annually with distribution of back damages as determined by plaintiffs.
• Going forward, the settlement allows the A5 conference member institutions (and other DI schools that choose to participate in the new structure) to provide increased benefits to student-athletes, including for NIL. If approved by the court, this model will allow schools to provide up to 22% of the average Autonomy 5 athletic media, ticket, and sponsorship revenue to student-athletes, starting in the 2025-26 academic year. The future model could result in student-athletes receiving $1.5 billion to $2 billion in new benefits annually.
  • The new benefits that may be made available to student-athletes would be in addition to the myriad benefits currently provided to student-athletes, including free tuition, room & board, educational grants, academic support and tutoring, medical and mental health resources & support, nutrition resources & support, life skills development, superior coaching and training and extended medical coverage after they stop competing. Adding these existing benefits together with the benefits to be available under the new model, many A5 schools would be providing nearly 50 percent of athletics revenue to their student-athletes.
  • Under the new model, institutions may pay student-athletes directly for their NIL rights. Any institutional NIL payments would apply toward the 22% cap. Third parties may continue to enter into NIL agreements with student-athletes. Such agreements will be subject to review to ensure they are legitimate, fair market value agreements and not used for pay-for-play. NIL payments by third parties would not apply toward the 22% cap but must be disclosed to a clearinghouse for review.
  • The new model allows for the establishment of a robust and effective enforcement and oversight program to ensure the new NIL model achieves its objectives. The establishment of a clearinghouse for NIL payments over $600 would give institutions access to information about external NIL activities, providing a level of transparency that does not currently exist to allow for better management of third-party influence and better assurance of legitimate NIL activity.
• Lastly, scholarship limits will be eliminated in all sports, and roster limits will be established. Institutions have the discretion to offer partial or full scholarships provided they do not exceed the roster limits. This change will allow institutions to provide additional scholarships to student-athletes in the future.
