I've been researching the roster limits and I believe the players who were walk-ons are grandfathered in - so Groce and Halligan wouldn't count toward the 15 player limit. They apparently did this so existing walk-ons weren't forced out of programs.

In any country outside North America they don’t have college-associated sports. 

Correction, and trivia: There's at least two other country outside of North American that do: The Philippines, and South Korea.

Whatever rotation we start with in November will likely be far different come February and March.
