NCAA Roster Limits and Power 5

Yeah - that “settlement” is not going to happen. See - there is this thing called Title IX. Oops. We forgot about the fact that we have to comply with the actual law.

The court can sign off on it and the schools can start complying with it's terms, but there is nothing keeping a kid not bound by its terms from suing in a court in a different circuit. Right now, a kid who is a junior in high school and attends any school outside of the northern district of California can sue the second they step foot on campus. Arguably, they can sue once they start the recruiting process. That's not even getting to state laws that may be in conflict with the settlement. Even the NCAA says federal legislation would be needed to preempt them- NY state courts will not hold their laws invalid based on a settlement in California

Sounds like people are talking about suing over the financial parts of the settlement…but the specific question is about roster sizes.

Nobody is suing because football is now 105 or baseball is now 34.

D1 programs are in fact making adjustments to their recruiting based on the new roster sizes.

Not sure how any 2025 or 2026 HS kid can sue anyone because they don’t get an offer.

They don’t have to fund them though. There’s lots of sports that don’t fund the allowable number of scholarships
