Signing Class Limit for the footballz about to increase to 32....

[TUSK]

Shite 'bout to get real...

Under the recommendation, schools can sign 25 new players while gaining additional signee spots for each player who transfers out of their program?up to a limit of seven, sources tell Sports Illustrated. The transferring player must have left academically eligible. For instance, a school that loses five players to the portal can sign 30 new players. A school that loses 10 players to the portal can sign 32 new signees.

inB4 Shotgun mentions what a "terrible product" NCAA football is.....

I think this is just a one year deal. No big deal if so.

The 85 will still stand though, so, if Bama is going to consistently sign more than 25, they're going to have to go next level on processing players or see players they think are pretty good hit the portal.

If it's a long term deal, it's just not good for the sport. No way no how.

We better hope this is a one year deal. That's all I can say. Even as a one year deal, this is a horrible decision.

I get torn on this one because the Portal has the propensity to destroy a program that changes coaches or has a quick fall from grace.

One thing I think needs to happen is a deadline for the portal entry to not lose a year of eligibility. Maybe that?s as early as December 31 so schools can decide how to fill spots they are losing.

This is complicated as you don?t want to be encouraging schools to process players either. Schools are going to be much more willing to take on character risk if they know they could essentially cut them after a year and get to replace them .

There has to be a way to box this in and make it reasonable for all parties.

Oh boy..... the sunbelt is going to lose about 7 players to a certain SEC school. **

We'll get our share of players if we learn to recruit better.

[BulldogBear]

If they want parity they should be going in the other direction.

College football desperately needs to reduce scholarship players to 72-73 and sign no more than 21-22 per year.

Give other schollies to baseball and maybe 1-2 to other sports.

We don't have room under the 85. This won't help us at all this season, unless we start processing players

You guys that want parity so we can somehow play Bama closer need to think about how that works against us. Parity also works to help the USMs and the Memphis schools to bring them closer to equal with us.

That is kind of the definition of parity

Until the younger generation of boosters take over I don?t know that there will be much change in recruiting

Who cares about USM & Memphis? It's about competing for championships, not worrying about who your worst loss is

I think a group of boosters that grew up in the recruiting ranking era will have a better idea how this works

This is definitely going to encourage schools to not just process them, but pull their scholarships and try to get them to transfer to another school through the portal so that they can get an extra scholarship. Saban's Medical processing or whatever they call it where the player stops playing because of "injury" but keeps their scholarship won't get them an extra spot.

Lol leave it to Leach. If or when we lose more games he'll make sure it happens.

We can't compete for championships if we don't beat the USMs and Memphis teams. You already forgot last Saturday? When was the last time we played for a football championship? When was the last time we lost to Memphis but go ahead with your narrative about championships.

[Apoplectic]

Going to have to make S/S a four year commitment for the athletes to avoid saban processing

Saban probably pitched a temper tantrum at a press conference so they said here Nick we'll give you 7 more schollies.
