It's hard to even begin where to discuss it. 2 Quote

GP1 Posted yesterday at 01:44 AM Author Report Posted yesterday at 01:44 AM I heard an interesting proposal about the NIL this week on Full Ride. Teams will be allowed to have a maximum of 105 players on their teams. I forget the number, but it would keep over 1,000 players out of college football. I don't care if that many don't get to play. It just ends their playing career a year or two early. If this rule applies to DIII, it will greatly harm many of this schools. Filling teams up with players is a source of revenue these schools will be without. It could put some of them out of business. Schools like Mt Union have around 200 players on the team. Those students may just end up at state schools, which would be great for Akron. It would be a $3.5 million hit for Mt Union. Quote
zippy5 Posted yesterday at 02:06 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:06 AM 200 players on the team? You sure about that? Quote
adzip Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM 200 might be a bit high but GP1 is certainly correct that football is a major source (maybe THE major source) of male freshman enrollment at Mt. Union. I counted 100 freshmen listed on their football roster several years ago. Most will never see the field. They will lose many of them to state schools but their hope is that some will like the school enought to continue there with added loans/family funds even without the football. Those will be largely students who would never have gone to Mt. Union otherwise and therefore worth bringing them in as football players who will never play. 1 Quote
