www.si.com/college/southcarolina/report-ncaa-set-to-increase-scholarship-limits-across-all-sports-01j3k0se5p8eIn a meeting on Tuesday, Dellenger reports power conference commissioners finalized new roster-size limits that pave the way for athletic departments to distribute millions of dollars in new scholarships to athletics. Beginning in 2025-2026, by sport scholarships rules will be eliminated, allowing teams to offer scholarships to the entirety of their rosters, following House settlement terms. Football will see an increase of 20 scholarships -- from 85 to 105. Schools will not have to be at the 105 limit until the season starts, which means teams will be able to carry more players in preseason camps. Baseball receives an even bigger influx of scholarships going from it's current 11.7 scholarships to 34. Basketball is set to increase from 13 to 15. Softball will add 13 scholarships going from 12 to 25. And Volleyball will increase from 12 to 18.

how will this affect A&T? I think for Football it's TBD...they haven't said if the scholarship increase will apply to FCS...time will tell there... But we are about to find out if A&T is serious about baseball or not. Scholarship count will almost triple for that sport. From 11.7 to 34. Are we truly ready to invest?

Would be nice if our athletic department leadership actually put out some type of communication about what this might mean for A&T going forward, but we know that won't happen.

I believe they are waiting for the NCAA and courts to make the final changes, then the conference to provide a way ahead. I read the NCAA and courts should decide the way ahead regarding player back pay and conference payments within 2 weeks.

Through reading about this, I’ve learned that all D-1 sports are now equivalency sports. Meaning, like FCS for us, coaches can give out partial scholarships.
Giving out partials may be best move forward for Baseball and Softball whose limits just tripled.

Football 105 (+20) Not sure how this will affect FCS but imo we will see an increase to the 63 limit Basketball 15 (+2) Baseball 34 (+22.3) Softball 25 (+13) Volleyball 18 (+6)
These scholarship costs are about to rise across the board.
Will definitely see more separation of who has it and who doesn't
