What's this?

Scholarship Limits.


In your scenario you are saying there is not really a need for scholarship limits as there is not a reason to go above 13 or 85...and some people don't agree. We will find out soon if we see players with big NILs not on scholarship.

I understand what you are saying and I agree that there is only so much money, the pot isn't magically growing by billions of dollars. The question was could you go to 14 instead of 13 because of NIL and you would be crazy to think it won't happen. I think football is more likely to go to 90 instead of 85, especially for the big SEC teams. NIL will provide a way to circumnavigate the scholarship limit. You can have 125 players on a football roster.
