Was thinking the same thing Buf if they have to cut down to 30 next year. You might have guys like Alex Facundo at PSU and others since they would have to get to 30. You can't keep everyone so that should help with the portal.


Won’t they just stash guys at juco

now that juco doesn't count towards eligibility, it is probably the better option for a large number of kids to get feet wet at next level
honestly stay the 2 years get your degree become a JUCO AA -
plenty of doors will open that may not have been an option out of HS

It will be interesting because right now very few AA quality guys come out of Jucos. When does someone sue and want NAIA included. Could see some wanting to go to Grand View

Personally I think this is all just going to be a giant mess that is going to cut more programs.

Roster limit reduction shouldn't have been even discussed. Wrestling has given so many first time in their family to attend college kids the opportunity that they wouldn't have probably been able to do is exactly the what the NCAA loves to brag about so now we are going to take that away?

Juco not counting as eligibility is also ridiculous IMHO... just stick with you have 5 years to compete in 4 post seasons. If you want to use 2 of those at juco or whatever else level so be it that means you would have up to 3 at D1.

Will be interesting , the final review by the judge is April 7 . The deadline for athletes to file objections was Friday . Notably filing one at the last minute was Olivia Dunne which requested that she be heard at the hearing . Another notable objection is from a Stanford walk on claiming roster limits would deny students the ability to compete Another wrinkle is the Title IX issue that has been raised. The judge will most likely approve the agreement anyway .

The title IX deal is messy. In the proposal, are women athletes suppose to get 50% of the university money?
Other than Audi Crooks, Addy Brown and Emily Ryan, I am not sure I could name many other women that would get much NIL money. Of course, I don't follow Gymnastics, Women's Golf or Track or softball.

The softball team has an All American outfielder. Allen had an incredible year last year.

So as far as I understand it , the Title IX issue was an opinion handed down by the Dept of Education , I believe it is up to the judge to consider it and if it applies to the settlement. It is all very messy right now and will undoubtedly be further law suits. Here is the best explanation I have found of the Title IX opinion:

Specifically, the Department of Education clarified its opinion that any future revenue sharing distributions from a school to an athlete for NIL rights are classified as “financial assistance.” The DOE further stated that, “[w]hen a school provides athletic financial assistance in forms other than scholarships or grants, including compensation for the use of a student-athlete’s NIL, such assistance also must be made proportionately available to male and female athletes.” In other words, if the revenue paid out by schools to athletes for NIL is paid unproportionately to men’s sports over women’s sports, then a school could be at risk of violating Title IX. The DOE essentially found that any payment by a school to use an athlete’s NIL is akin to an athletic scholarship, therefore requiring payment to be distributed equally among men and woman.

I think Jackson coming from DMPS would be a nice success story that a company with roots here would like to associate with.

Good for Bob and Co. they will be getting Keegan snd Melvin. Hopefully Jax is smart and carved out his own path and not follow there.

Iowa needed Bo far more than he needs them. Funny seeing Iowa fans claiming that commitment is going to be what brings down PSU…Bo will be good no doubt but it’s going to take far more then him to bring PSU down

Bo and Melvin is a great combo, the be they could hope for. That's 45-50 points at Nationals between the 2 of them.
