Seeing all these kids and posts on social about kids going into the portal, 2025’s coming in already signed with athletic money, most schools capping at 28. News today about a possible grandfather rule for rosters, but who knows….

It’s a game of musical chairs for these kids. These late portal entrants…are there going to be spots? Seems unlikely so many will be able to go D1 to D1 this late in the game. Crazy, crazy times…my 2025 is committed and picked a school where she has a great opportunity to play early…school had her major, she did not chase a sweatshirt. School kept the rosters in check. We feel very blessed and fortunate. I am already hearing stories of kids getting cut from friends with kids at different schools. It’s not a good thing. I guess I would say this for the ‘26 group, either pick a school you would without soccer for the academics, or pick a school where you can play if that is important…many kids from sweatshirt schools transferring and hitting the portal.
Rosters rules are still not settled…they should have pushed this to next year…some schools (smaller mid-majors) were smart and deferred until 2026…in other cases for the P4 it’s a way to pay the FB and BB players directly and keep their teams competitive. Except for Baylor BB, their whole team hit the portal
With NCAA-House settlement hanging in balance, a new roster limit proposal has emerged
A plan is emerging to permit schools to voluntarily grandfather-in roster spots, sources tell Yahoo Sports. But questions loom on a move that would potentially impact budgets, Title IX and more. Will the plan be enough for the judge to approve the settlement?
