[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College Soccer Truth saying that they are hearing 28 cap will not be in place in 2025.  2026 is what the target is.

I have real doubts it will ever be adopted.  And if adopted it will be attacked in court right away.  [/quote]

I'm a D1 women's coach and unfortunately all this is true, and happening for 2025....we were recently told (mid major) that we have to get our roster to 28.  Alot of the P4s jumped the gun b/c they knew it was coming.  It was more blurry at our level, but lots of 25s and current players will be getting unfortunate news after the season ends.  No one hates it more than we do.[/quote]

Why wait then?  If it needs to be done, delaying the inevitable only hurts the 2025 kids involved.  Existing players can at least enter the portal and see if there's interest elsewhere.  The 2025s will be screwed.[/quote]

Yeah -- I have a feeling that D1 Women's College coach is either not that or she is just wrong.  It is pretty clear that the earliest this is going into effect is 2026.  The settlement is still not approved by the judge and may never be.[/quote]

I am a coach and I'm not wrong.  [b]The settlement was approved on Oct 7[/b].  The vast number of P4's have already been releasing 2025 commits since beginning of Fall.  There will likely be currently rostered players released as well but many will wait until season over so as to not cause disruption, and also the portal doesn't even open for WSO until Nov 18.  The issue is still very confusing to everyone as I alluded to (initially the way the ruling read, everyone thought it would just apply to P4s who were 'opting into revenue sharing model' but now we are being told it will apply to all.  All I can say is we were just told by our Administration to prepare for a 28 roster by end of spring....I've heard from other colleagues they have been told effective by Fall 2025 (which is basically the same thing).  This will affect much more than 25s..... and 26s as well, because there will be FAR fewer roster spots available for 26s and many schools have already locked up as many as they can take.  A 28 roster means average of 7 per class, and it's not unusual for programs to have 9 or 10 in a freshman or sophomore class....so in that case to stay under 28, it may mean taking less than 7 in next 2 classes for many schools.[/quote]

Preliminary approval was granted, but it's not finalized by any means.  Lots can happen between now and April which can derail this agreement.
