Re: With Scholarship Limits Ending, Who Makes a Push in the Next 3-4 Years?
The impact of the new financial revenue sharing is very hard to measure. It appears that college athletes may be on the way to becoming semi-professional athletes. I personally will find that unattractive and my enthusiasm for college sports may lessen. Schools that have a division 1 football team grant 85 scholarships to men and that causes all those Title Nine issues. I note that a majority of those larger schools are NOT making a profit in football except for the TV revenues that are paid to those conferences. Without that money, the football teams would operate at strong loss. I played college football ( although not well), but I have three friends who have died at younger ages due to concussions suffered while playing football. While I would not stop them, I counseled my children and counsel my grandchildren not to play football because of those same risks. Because of the precautions WLAX takes to prevent head injuries, I like it better than the men's game.
At this time, I can watch over 46 college football games each week on TV -- just with my streaming subscriptions -- they come with it. However, there are many of those games that I have absolutely no interest in. I didn't attend those schools and they are not national powers -- I believe that eventually the golden goose will start to lose it feathers -- and when that happens -- many of these power schools will find themselves without TV money to support losing teams. We have already seen the some sports media companies begin to fail. Personally, if I am going to watch professional players play a sport, I will watch the best -- and they are currently playing in the NFL. Of course this is only MHO and I have been wrong about as much as I have been right.
However, I see something very special in Women's LAX. These are not greedy athletes who will not attend a college unless they receive tons of money -- these are fantastic students -- great athletes -- who learn to play a sport that requires intricate teamwork where the team itself will make changes necessary on the field whenever it sees something is not working. The women huddle up after every score and discuss what worked and what didn't and what they need to do. I do not care who your alma mater is, these are the kind of athletes folks want to see representing their schools and making them feel so proud to be part of that team. I see a great future for this sport -- if it is handled well and continues to put up the product it has been producing. Who better to take the reins of this effort than some of the women who have played the sport?

1. Where are you getting your info that scholarship limits are being abandoned?
2. Schools are still under the current rules, how are coaches going above the 12.6 scholarships?
Re: With Scholarship Limits Ending, Who Makes a Push in the Next 3-4 Years?
There is a way now to have more scholarships (see rules below(): Need or Academic scholarships do not appear to count against the 12 limit for Div 1 schools.
**Equivalency scholarship: Equivalency sports, like lacrosse, are given a pool of scholarship money that college coaches can divide up amongst recruits and current roster players. For example, if a lacrosse coach is given the equivalent of 12 scholarships, they can divide that funding among 25 lacrosse players. With such a small lacrosse scholarship budget, full-rides are rare. Instead, student-athletes typically receive partial scholarships.
The NCAA D1 Council adopted legislation that loosened regulation regarding need-based aid and academic scholarships that are not tied to athletic ability. Lacrosse teams will not have any athletes’ need- and academic-based aid count against the maximum athletic scholarship limit. Prior to this ruling, athletes had to meet certain criteria for their additional aid to not be counted against a team’s athletic scholarship limit.
Lacrosse teams will still have a maximum athletic scholarship cap, but student-athletes can seek to add as much need-based aid and academic scholarships as they qualify for. With school and family budgets being impacted by the coronavirus, this rule change should allow lacrosse programs that have the funds to extend more money to families and athletes that need it—especially at pricier private colleges.

Can you share where the schools are getting the $$ to pay for additional scholarships?

See what I mean?West Coaster wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 11:31 pmYou may be right in that either the NCAA removes the scholarship limit pre-emptively, OR schools choose to willingly ignore the limits (more likely) because it gives them a head start in some sports and they know the limits won't pass legal scrutiny.

The recruiting class signing in November will be the first the experience this change. Many collegiate athletic departments are already operating this way... if they can afford it.spidey44 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 1:38 pm Unless I missed something, isn't this all speculation at this point? I mean yes they ruled in the courts to allow schools to pay athletes, etc, but I'm guessing this all has to go through a boatload of red tape before anything is official. Or did it just magically go into effect?

Interesting stipulation…
Those that are not defendants in the settlement case — schools and conferences in the Group of Five, FCS and non-football playing Division I programs — are bound by the roster limits, reporting system and enforcement mechanism only if they choose to share revenue with athletes. They can opt out of the new model if they decline to share revenue.

Re: With Scholarship Limits Ending, Who Makes a Push in the Next 3-4 Years?
It was commented that 38 seems like a reasonable number! IMO this will bring about roster management similar to what has been in football for some time (they have needed to be at 85 at the start of the season).
There are a number of programs (I just found a few in a couple minutes of looking) who will be over the limit in '25-'26 (based on most current rosters, subtracting those who use up eligibility and adding those coming in) by anywhere from a couple players to high single digits.
I think we will have to see what are effectively some "cuts" taking place. This will be a very difficult situation. Perhaps, if fortunate, many students will be offered a place at their university with current levels of aid continuing. Maybe some become team managers. But we will probably get an extra surge into the transfer portal next year as well.
I am familiar with one high profile mens program that recently limited incoming transfers due to the coming roster limits, and also mentioned that they are planning to cut some current players this year.
It has been commented on this forum that it will impact '26 recruiting. This seems likely, though I think at a modest level (because schools have to get to 38 before the '26s arrive). I also would guess that the impact to '25 recruits will be minimal, in most cases schools will clear out a few players who aren't contributing and give the incoming Freshmen a shot.
Finally, in looking at the number of D1 commits the last couple years, my best guess is there will be room for ~100 to 120 fewer commits to D1 schools going forward. This sort of offsets the extra 100+ that have been generated through the growth in number of D1 programs over the last five years or so! This will also push the talent down through the ranks of schools and help with parity, though I am guessing this won't be very noticeable.

On the very bright side of things - over time this might dramatically increase the overall amount of athletic scholarship money awarded in Women's Lacrosse. As some start to give well above the current 12 equilavency scholarships, I would think that would pressure others to follow suit and while there will be fewer available D1 spots, the money should increase - especially for top players and at the schools providing the most resources to Lacrosse.

We may see an increase in club lacrosse in college. Some of these top club teams would already beat some lower tier D1 programs.laxmenow wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2024 7:22 pm It was commented that 38 seems like a reasonable number!

That’s the bit I’m interested in understanding. If a school opts out, what revenue are they declining to share?spidey44 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2024 6:37 pm Interesting stipulation…

Re: With Scholarship Limits Ending, Who Makes a Push in the Next 3-4 Years?
athletic department revenue. they're allowed to pay athletes up to $21.5 million if they want above current benefits and increased scholarships. they can choose to not pay them at all. then they can just stay status quo.SoCal wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2024 8:17 pmThat’s the bit I’m interested in understanding.
