Why don't you explain what I'm missing, since I'm so new to this and all.
Why are you confusing yourself? You don't magically sit at 85 scholarships for an entire year. You gradually dip below that based on how many players will be leaving at the end of the year. MSU doing that enables us to sign 23-25 new players every year. You don't just sign 14 guys to replace 14 guys. You figure out the extra 8 guys you need to process and get that accomplished in time to add 23-25 more guys. Every year you do that. Next year we will have it right around that number again. Then again. Then again.
