There is a one time exemption for a new head coach that Brown will likely take advantage of:

The NCAA Division I rule addresses the status of an athletic scholarship in this situation in Bylaw 15.5.1.7 “Aid After Departure of Head Coach.”

Basically, this rule says that when a head coach who recruited and provided a scholarship to a DI student-athlete is replaced, [B]the new head coach has the right to not invite an athlete back [/B]to the team the following year.  The athlete may, however, be given the right to stay at the school on scholarship until the athlete graduates with their degree.

The benefit of this rule for the athlete is that they can continue to receive their scholarship while working to complete their degree.  [B]The benefit to the new coach is that the athlete’s scholarship won’t count against the team limit in that sport so the coach can use that scholarship to recruit another athlete.[/B]

In the case of [B]Lincoln Riley[/B] and USC, he cut enough players from the roster that he could bring in 26 players from the transfer portal, in addition to his recruiting class. Sanders did the same at Colorado.
