I see where Texas Tech has decided to keep its football scholarship limit at 85 just like what the SEC is also doing...
A primary reason for doing so, if I'm reading things correctly, is because if they went to 105 football scholarships, the difference (105 minus 85, added expense of 20 scholarships) would be deducted from the $20+M amount from the NCAA settlement funds the school would receive once that is done this spring...
Edit: any new funding on scholarships (like football going from 85 to 105) up to $2.5M must be deducted from the $20M+ settlement amount each school is given...
I'm wondering if something couldn't be put in place to do the same thing with NIL dollars being deducted from that yearly settlement amount and, if so, would that level the playing field between schools and conferences...
Just wondering...Go Devils!!!
