I've been trying to think about the roster limit rule that will be coming to college football. There's been a lot of talk about the traditional walk on will no longer be a thing. Here are things I'm wondering and am curious on other thoughts people may have.
It may be the rid of traditional walk ons sure, but to me there is no limit to scholarships a school can offer, so maybe those traditional walk ons now just get a rightful scholarship given to them for the work they put into the team.
If teams are using 105 scholarships, which colleges aren't mandated to do obviously, that in theory takes more scholarship players away from levels below "x" team in theory. So my first thought is that the gap in FBS and FCS going forward will be even that much more.
I think this will generate even more movement within the college football landscape and transfers. More scholarship athletes, obviously just by a numbers game means more scholarship athletes not getting playing time they feel they either deserve, or want. Which will lead to transfers to schools that will be able to offer some more on field opportunities.
Any other effects people can think of that will directly affect the on-field product?
Another thought I've had with all these changing rules and regulations to the college landscape regarding NIL, roster sizes, etc. have there been any adjustments to how coaches, and colleges can recruit high school kids. Limitations of contacts lifted, official visit numbers raised, etc?
