Potential 2025 Roster

I would take Brett Tenags off the list of potential returning players.

I was naïve in not believing that roster limits were coming to college lacrosse. No limit has been finalized as of yet, but the one I've seen banded about is 35, which is pretty low. That said, the 12.6 scholarship limit for lax, is gone. Should be interesting to see how many full rides schools on the whole decide to give out. Will SU give out the full 35? Could other schools give out less? What happens if a player isn't producing as coaches thought they might? Will rosters be more cutthroat?

"As part of the new revenue-sharing model — beginning in 2025-26 academic year — by-sport scholarship restrictions are eliminated, and schools are permitted to offer scholarships to the entirety of their rosters. The new roster limit figures are not final until the approval of House settlement terms."

I've seen the following scholarship increases being discussed:

Football from 85 to 105
Men's Basketball from 13 to 15
Baseball from 11.7 to 34
Softball from 12 to 25
Volleyball from 12 to 18

LAX hasn't even been mentioned yet.

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.

Very interesting, up to 48 scholarships. 48 as a roster cap is a tad low for me, thinking 50-55

It's better than 32-36.

It's better than 32-36.

Ya u ain't kidding

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Remember, this doesn't go into effect until 2025-26.

So we do have to cut down from 60, but we can spend a lot more money now.

I wonder how many smaller schools will fund the full 48?

Almost none, some of the big boys are gonna have trouble funding all 48, not sure how many will actually do it. Even Cuse probably isn't doing the full boat

 

[nyclax]

this is going to be disastrous for schools like rutgers that have big time power 5 sports (even though they suck) that require funding attention and where lacrosse is an afterthought. the bright side for rutgers is they cant get much worse than they already are...

in the ACC, most schools including cuse will be fine because they care about lax. im not sure if you can say the same for UNC...lax does not seem to be a priority there in recent years and they have a lot of other more successful non-revenue sports that need $$...whats going to be left for mr. breschi's team

 

[4evaOrange]

Hmmm

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We can still hand out partials.

If everyone gets half a schollie, that's 48 players for 24 scholarships.

Better than 12.6

good luck getting elite players when you're handing out half schoolies

the best players are still going to require full rides. if you dont give it to them someone else will
