College Roster Caps

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.

80% if the rosters have 30 players or less, with the new rules dropping it to 28 max. A number of programs aren't fully funded so less than 14 scholarships. A number of programs give 14 half scholarships, then use NIL money to get 28 players to full scholarships, as well as everything in between. Even a sport like basketball, where almost every D1 college offers 15 full rides you see players chosing schools for the NIL money and a great chance to play pro.

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.

If you've seen the transfer portal list from last season, I don't know why any team would bring in more than 3-4 unicorns out of high school every year. If developing players is too much of a chore, there's your solution. Adjusting to the college game? No problem. Adjusting to being away from mom and dad? No problem. Redshirts? No problem.
 
Does anyone know the penalty for going over the roster limit?
If a player is injured and has long term recovery, can a team keep them off the 28 player roster, but still at the school?
Does a redshirt player count towards the roster limit during their redshirt year?
Players on a mission, do they count towards the 28? I know they get exempt from the 4 years play in 5 year period.
