Say good bye to annual 25 scholarship limit

[Toga]

Does Barry Baker count against the 85?

Now I am not sure. I was thinking of what happened at Colorado, but that situation has its own rule.

Maybe teams just declare injuries like Alabama did with Ingraham before he came to SU.

Deion Sanders' roster remake at Colorado like nothing college football has ever seen

A look at how Sanders executed exit interviews after the spring like an NFL cutdown day. Saturday we get to start seeing if his plan worked.

I guess that would work, as long as the player decides he's done with football. Of course, you probably have to get a MD to do it which puts his license on the line if he lies about it.

Edit: I just read the article you linked. It said they could remain as students. It didn't say how it impacted the 85 limit. I interpret that as meaning they still counted against it and that Deion was willing to accept that in order to take a hard stance in telling players he didn't want them. He was betting that most guys want to be on a team and would transfer. It seems like his stance was harsher than a lot of coaches that push guys out. I think most coaches frame it as, "You'll ride the bench and be practice fodder." It seems like he said, "You can stay at the school with your scholarship, but you're not on the team anymore." He was willing to take a small numbers hit if anyone decided to stay that he didn't want.

As long as they stick to 85 I think it's fine. It'll help us at times and maybe hurt us at times (losing a HS cruit to a school brining in 35 kids etc), but this will also help kids find homes since nobody is going to be left short of the 85.

It’s there in the article just buried in the middle.

“First-year head coaches, like Sanders, have access to the NCAA's "Aid After Departure of Head Coach" rule, which allows them to cut scholarship players and not have them count against the 85-scholarship limit, as long as those players remain on scholarship through the university.”

I just hate for the kids who are mid 3 star guys who don’t make the money cause they kept transferring. It s tough for me. I want them to make money but this isn’t working

Why isn't it working. Or better yet, how do you know this isn't working? We have more parity than ever in college football. Probably have 12-15 teams that could win it all. Even SU has benefited from the current setup. 3 4-star QBs on the roster. When have we ever had that?

For the mid 3 star h.s. Kid. It will be transfers mostly with some hs kids.

This is a decision they need to make. If they feel it works for them, then so be it. Maybe the final outcome wasn't what they hoped but they at least had the choice.

For all the players: It's a crapshoot!, a casino where you bet on your self. Should I stay or should I go.

Oh, oops I missed that part. That seems like a loophole he took full advantage of.

if we hate our team, just recruit an entire new one.
