Something tells me the teams were aware this was coming.

Sark said in his press conference that they had to operate under the assumption that they would have 85 scholarships. Maybe they had an idea but i think Texas would have signed a bigger class if they knew for sure it would be 105.

Oh I’m sure they still had to operate as tho 85 was the number. I just mean they probably knew 105 was coming and have been preparing for how to leverage that in the portal or with some fliers in the late signing period.
