1. With NCAA-House Settlement Hanging in Balance, a New Roster Limit Proposal Has Emerged

by Ross Dellenger, Yahoo Sports

“For months now, hundreds of college coaches have met one-on-one with their athletes to deliver a message: We no longer have room for you on our roster.

By the dozens, individual schools have trimmed their sports rosters as they prepare to meet new roster limits imposed as part of the House settlement agreement. Hundreds of Division I athletes — many of them in football, swimming, track, men’s volleyball and cross country — have either voluntarily left their team or been removed from their team during this roster purge.

Now, if a plan under discussion is finalized, many of these roster spots could be restored in a grandfathering-in effort that protects the roster spots of those athletes currently on a team, those who have already been cut this year and, perhaps, even some of those high school recruits who committed to a roster position only to see it eliminated.”
