Why do scholly limits even matter any more?

[Cowbell]

Sign as many as you want to NIL - that will cover tuition and room and board for a lot of these kids. We are about to see teams start stacking extra depth - the scholly limit has no effect anymore

[Really Clark?]

I still think you need limits but even if you do just sign however many you want and make them pay their own way, players want to play. It's impossible to find playing time to keep them all happy. They will self correct themselves for over stacking depth.

a scholarship is still worth a minimum of 80K per player. Most guys aren't touching that in NIL money. And there's not an endless supply of funds despite what you read on the internet.

The point I'm trying to make is that you aren't gonna let scholarship limits stop you from getting one or two extra guys that you absolutely want at the last minute.
The blue bloods will absolutely use this to their advantage.

I mean, yeah, but the 85 gives them plenty of room to work with especially with the tranfer portal. Saban barely has to process kids any more.

If some meaningful legislation was passed reducing scholarships from 85 to 70, capping signees/transfers at 20 a year....then yeah, they would just use NIL money. But at least it would cost them something.

There is also some ego involved. They want to be on a scholarship, not a walk on who we will take care of through NIL.

If we have a legit four star committed and Bama comes in and offers big time NIL money on signing day because they don't have any Scollys left, we can forget about him.

Depends on what you mean by big money. Would take 6 figures.

[CaptainObvious]

Isn?t this the year they said you can get to 85 scholarship players any way you want. If you only have 50 on the roster now, you can sign any combination of 35 to get to 85. There is no 25 max this year.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The schools nor coaches have any leverage on the players. Nothing. The only bad thing that could happen to a scholarship kid at this point is to go portal and not get picked up. Thats it. And the odds of a scholarship level SEC player not getting picked up by some program somewhere is probably minimal

Did you see what A&M payed for their last recruiting class?
