Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 5360707, member: 393"] My understanding is that all D1 sports will be classified as "equivalency" sports under the new rules beginning with the 25-26 academic year. This is important because it will allow schools to award partial scholarships if they choose. The current system is/was classified as "headcount" for football and basketball and can only offer full scholarships. Technically, you can still have non scholarship walk ons and partial scholarship roster spots as long as you don't exceed the max roster size of 105. So your thought of "cutting out 25 scholarships" is probably not going to be a thing for power conferences. The new flexibility and roster size increase is designed to help programs build depth and deal with the reality of the portal turnover. This is the direction SU is headed. [/QUOTE]
