The NCAA just increased the # of scholarships so won’t that make it easier?[/quote]

Less roster spots smart one..[/quote]

But way more scholarships, smart one. Conversation was about scholarships, smart one.[/quote]

The NCAA said you CAN now have up to 28 scholarships (to match the 28 players on roster) but it costs A LOT of money for a university to fund all those additional scholarships when they may have had the equivalent of 10 full scholarships to split up before. Outside of Power 4 programs, no one is funding 28 full scholarships in soccer. There is no revenue generated to pay for those scholarships.[/quote]

Are programs reducing the number of scholarships?[/quote]
Some programs will be increasing the number of scholarships. Others may reduce them. Overall, the number of total scholarships across all colleges may be similar, but not evenly distributed.

The new rules also make possible other sources of money for athletes outside of scholarships. NIL and sponsorships could mean that a player does not get a scholarship (money funded by the school directly) but does receive NIL money from corporate or boosters.

Nobody knows how this will all settle out. Anyone who claims to know is just speculating. So much will depend on the individual school, conference, and even the athletes themselves (some are more marketable than others).[/quote]
