I think they should give 20 full rides away and a per diem then 10 players pay their own way to be on a team and be practice players. make it fun.

And as if on queue the calls for a college level players union have begun. Although in this article they're trying to hide the true motive by calling it a players association.

The NCAA Antitrust Lawsuits Will Not Pay Off for College Athletes Without a Permanent Players Association - ProMarket
Jake Goidell argues that the ongoing NCAA lawsuit settlements will not create a lasting solution unless athletes form a players association that is involved in determining industry-wide decisions.

There's going to be cuts + it just got much more difficult to play on a college team.

Update on NCAA Division 1 College Roster Sizes.
-Roster sizes any where from 24-28. Some Power 4 conferences are voting on a smaller number.
-They will NOT grandfather in the current roster. What does this mean? That if there are current rosters beyond the roster limit they will have to make cuts. Not just with their current team but with their 2025 verbally committed class.
-2025 D1 commits, you’re never officially safe until you sign your national letter of intent in November. If they limit the roster and they do not grandfather the current rosters, your coach has to decide between keeping a current player or you. To the Power 4 commits and most mid major D1 commits, count the current roster and how many 2025’s coming in. Anything beyond 30+ you could be in trouble.

About never officially safe until signjng NLI. I thought they are doing away with the NLI signing as well.There's going to be cuts + it just got much more difficult to play on a college team.

One potential benefit may be a better distribution of players at the college level. So you don’t have 40 great players at UCLA and 12 of them hardly ever play
NCAA will be discontinuing the NLI.
NCAA is planning to replace NLI with a scholorship, revenue sharing, and NIL contract which shows players the exact numbers of everything they'll receive up front.
This will act as a form of NLI. The details around how NCAA will enforce coaches from not recruiting players that have signed the new version of NLI is unclear.

Yes, and "CRUSH" should be able to charge them fees for the privilege and $20 a day parking and $500 for a uniform kit they will never wear.... Goooooo "CRUSH"

Kids will still have their "signing day" on Nov 13th. They will sign their offer with the College/University, rather than the one page that they used to sign with the NCAA. These will not be semester to semester as some people have thrown out there. (nothing really changes on this front)
Roster caps will be set @ "28". Schools will be deciding how much of that will be funded. All schools will be different but expect most Power 4 (not all) to fully fund those 28 spots.
We have seen the effects of the roster cut down already. It has been heartbreaking for those who were affected in the 2025 class. More to come as a lot of schools will be over the roster cap heading into the '25 season. Schools will be prepared to cut from the current roster & also to make room for transfers.
In some cases, NIL amounts have already been communicated to current players & incoming recruits for the '25 & '26 classes.

How will the revenue sharing work for women's soccer? It'll depend on each school or ??? I know my daughter's school specifically considers women's soccer as revenue sharing.
Where can you see the portal numbers?

I read (on another forum) he has a roster of like 38 players. Ridiculous.It's only some of them that are listed. See if this works for ya. If not, got to X and pull up @Imyouthsoccer list was updated 3 hours ago.

What's Pitts rationalization for 38 players?
Is there 2 completely separate teams of 19?
Are they just trying to hoard talent and thunderdomeing them in a big pool to see which players come out on top?
I wonder if he only takes 1/2 the roster on travel weekends. Imagine that.

I'm hearing it will be closer to "20" when all is said & done. In addition to the roster cap cutdown there is lot's of unrest also due to a lot of foreign born players coming in.It's only some of them that are listed. See if this works for ya.

Its just their MO on how they operate. They bring in about 10 recruits and purge a good portion of their roster every year. They are not interested in developing just bring in talent and see who floats to the top. Unfortunately they are not the only program that does this....Look at Mich St., Kentucky, and Arkansas. This new roster cap is going to destroy this method and they will now have to rely on development and coaching. We'll see how well they do moving forward.
Numbers game. 2025‘s coming in. These 14 players are above the 28 the team will carry. PITT is at the leading edge of this. Transfer portal will be huge this year. The music has started and these “early” transfers would like to find a chair before the music stops.
Yes. And the comment above on Intrenational players coming to that program is spot on. Coach Randy loves the international recruits and he does the travel to find them. I.e. Africa.
Under the current system teams are limited to 14 scholorships. If there's 38 players and you figure 5 are full scholorship, 6 are half scholorship, and everyone else 27 players are quarter or no scholorship I guess the numbers work.
I'm not sure if I'd want to send my kid to a meat grinder situation like that.
The college game needs some serious cleaning up.
