If a school could in theory give out 48 full scholarships, then this just puts more emphasis on the resource battle in comparison to the battle for the best coaches, best recruiting/player development, etc. To me that is nothing but a major negative for the sport. I want Syracuse to be the best because we choose the best coaches, who have the best eye for talent on the recruiting trail, and then turn that group into the best team. This just solidifies the money battle as a key factor in recruiting the best talent.

The thought of a school working with potentially dozens less scholarships just because the administration is unwilling/unable to fork over the cash is disturbing. Further reduces factors like the coaches ability to identify talent and make a strong pitch for the school.

I guess with 5 star players who are already expecting to receive a full ride this does not change things too much? Maybe that battle for 4 star type talent favors the bigger schools with more scholarships. More situations for 4 star talent where blue blood school A is offering a full ride and a mid level school is only offering half.

It will be a chess match choosing how to use them. But i want the focus to be on the chess match on the field. Money was always a factor, but i hate that it is becoming a serious battle for who uses their money the best and spends the most. Bad day for the sport IMO
