This article is discussing the ACC but they were not alone. This is thinly veiled blackmail to get a larger recruitment and scholarship limit. Coaches of good programs with money know they could easily go to 30 and 95 or more, or just go to 95+ and eliminate annual limits.
Holding up the playoff and pretending it’s about equality and kids is a tired old school playbook of 3 decades that everyone sees through. However , there are billions of dollars at stake and schools know they can hold that up and get what they want
Make no mistake the men and women in charge of these kids see this as a money bonanza and will do whatever they can to get theirs. This is smart and I think we will see change come to roster limits or recruit limits or both. There is also talk of raising annual numbers and including transfers in them to somewhat regulate things. I think that’s a waste of time.
It is what it is. The folks running this want the money that comes with semi pro ball. It’s going to happen. Raise the cap to 95 and eliminate annual scholarship numbers and move on. This is and hasn’t been about the kids or fairness or equity across teams for 30 years.
