The preliminarily approved House v. NCAA settlement could cut average FBS rosters by 23 athletes if passed.
The preliminarily approvedwould shake up college athletics even more so than it already has the last few years. The headline from the settlement, which has not been officially approved yet, is that it would allow universities to pay athletes from a pool of $22,000,000 annually through revenue sharing if they opt to do so.
College football hasn’t had a roster limit, only a limit on scholarships, which is currently 85 athletes. For football and basketball, all of those players receive full scholarships. However, those scholarship players only make up part an entire football roster, as every program also adds walk-ons who are part of the program but do not receive an athletic scholarship.
Venables called the coming changes "carnage" during his Tuesday press conference. He expounded further on those thoughts on Wednesday's SEC call, and how he hopes to arrive at the operative number.
