This from an article 2 weeks ago, but I believe this was ratified as part of the House vs NCAA settlement announced yesterday:

[I]"An overshadowed but impactful piece of the proposed new model is the addition of roster limits by sport and the expansion of scholarships. While the model features new roster limitations, it removes scholarship restrictions by permitting schools to expand financial aid to the entirety of a sport’s roster positions.

"For example, under current rules, the NCAA permits schools to distribute 11.7 scholarships across a baseball roster of 32 players. Under a potential new model, a school could, if it chooses, distribute full scholarships across all 32 spots."[/I]

So, they could limit the lax rosters to 45, but allow schools to put everybody on scholarship. How many players are supported this way would be at the discretion of the individual schools (or conferences, if they can agree on a number). You can imagine a scenario where schools with deep pockets could fund 20 or 25 scholarships, leaving many competitors in the dust. For example, Ohio St., with all of their resources, (and should they decide to compete for championships) might do this.
