NCAA NCAA settlement a historic day for paying college athletes. What comes next?

What do you guys think about what was proposed today for the roster limits? What keeps a school from saying 4 girls were in jeopardy of losing their spots so they don't count against our roster...

Im not sure I fully understand what the proposal was regarding those athletes. Im waiting to read more press to get a better understanding. In general I think there is plenty opportunity for the handful of large programs (UF, LSU, OU, UCLA, etc) to optimize their rosters because they have the resources to do it. For the lion share of other programs there is a natural limitation for things like that to happen.

Looks like, if the judges accepts this revisions, schools can grandfather in current athletes if they want to, but don't have to. Athletes cut because of roster limits will take their grandfather status with them. But as with anything related to NCAA generally and the House settlement in particular, who the heck knows how it will actually all shake out.

According to a filing made Wednesday in the House settlement case, schools will be permitted to grandfather-in a range of athletes: (1) those currently on a roster; (2) those athletes who have already been cut this year; and (3) those high school recruits who enrolled at a school after committing to a roster position only to see it eliminated. As Yahoo Sports reported last week, the revision is not mandatory but is at each school’s discretion — a move that is seen as a compromise from the power leagues to the judge’s wishes.

The grandfathered-in athletes are exempt from roster limits at any school in which they participate. For instance, if their current school chooses against retaining them, those athletes who qualify to be grandfathered-in can transfer and remain exempt from their new school’s roster limits.
