Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 3632242, member: 3609"] Back in the Bear Bryant era, there were over 100 football scholarships. They screamed and cried that football would disappear when the scholarship limit was cut back to 85. How did that turn out? Football would also continue just as it is now with no problem if the scholarship limit was cut to 75. As it is now, almost all incoming freshmen are redshirted. That's 5 years of scholarship money, not just 4. Reducing the limit to 75 would also contribute to reducing the number of recruits receiving a redshirt. No one is advocating unilateral disarmament by any school. There has to be an across board action by all of D-1 to cut the number of scholarships and stop the facilities arms race. [/QUOTE]
