Even conservative estimates say there will be 500 fewer scholarships handed out to high schoolers this cycle as a result. And with the spots being more limited than ever, schools have to be more judicious in giving them out.

“Running second right now isn’t always the worst thing, because the school the kid probably wants to go to may not have room," one Power 5 coach said. "At this point we go from two to one.”

By my count our roster currently has 82 players on scholarship and only 8 are seniors. So if all of our players who have eligibility remaining come back for 2022, we’d only have 11 scholarships to give out.

On the flip side, by my count we have 18 sophomores and 48 freshmen (16 redshirt, 32 true) on scholarship for this season. This repercussion of giving everyone an extra year because of COVID is going to be a factor for the next five years, since the entire 2020 and 2021 classes are all true freshmen with 5 years to play 4 right now.

With so many players so close to each other in age, there will have to be a bunch of that group transferring out. Especially if they are stuck behind players of the same age.

So there should be much more than 11 scholarships available for this class. But until we know more, I wouldn’t expect 15+
commits in place before the season starts like we were used to seeing pre-COVID.

Have you heard of any talks about having some kind of NCAA waiver for the next 4 years to accommodate the eligibility freeze of 2020/21?   Seems like that kind of thought would have entered their minds prior to extending the freeze.
I don't think Title IX would be affected since it would apply to all student athletes... just does the AD have the funds for the additional scholarships they would be carrying the next 4 years (which, if that's a problem, we shouldn't be a D1 school).

I haven’t heard any further accommodations. Everything so far has just been to the benefit of players already at D1 schools last year and to the detriment of players who were in high school last year. And to the detriment of the marginal players. 

But from what I have seen, teams are pretty much still operating with 85 or less scholarships even though they can go over. But essentially only one senior class went out the door between last season and the end of this upcoming season despite two freshman classes entering/set to enter.

It’s an absolute mess and really screwing over the 2021 and 2022 high school class (worse for 2022).

One thing that could help is finding a way to not count all the D1 transfers towards the 25 scholarship/class limit. If a team loses 15 to the portal and wants to replace by bringing in 15 from the portal (similar to what we just did), then you only have 10 spots for high schoolers in your class.

I think that’s a typo. He’s a defensive lineman with 4 years of eligibility left. Every transfer this season will be eligible immediately.

NCAA will not be adding scholarships.  The burden on schools lower than Most D1 Schools financially would crumble most universities.  I imagine you will see schools using the non-renewal of scholarships as each scholarship is a 1 year scholarship now.  It will be a slippery slope as you don't renew a kids scholarship and their HS/JUCO coach find out unless there is a reason the student athlete brought upon themselves then you will be having some ticked off coaches.

This is turning into a small window of opportunity for G5 schools to pick up HS players a little higher caliber than they might ordinarily have been able to. The question becomes will those players stay or transfer out?

I was thinking to post something similar. If we play our cards right, we could easily land our highest rated class.

I think it’s clear - if you are a high school player and perform at a G5 you will be targeted by high level conference schools.  It’s really sad because tampering is against the rules but the NCAA is scared to death to do anything about it.

The NCAA will not do anything to P5 conferences for fear they will leave the NCAA (which is going to happen anyway)

Qb Rudder to be on campus

JayD can answer this one better than I can but he graduated last month so I would think he should be here by now.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
