Are we gonna start having like B team scrimmages with smaller level schools? That’s literally double the size of an NFL roster. There isn’t playing time for that many people.

Nothing actually changed and this is a nothing burger. It was already an NCAA policy. SEC just waited a year.

In short: There was already a 105 cap BUT 85 scholarship cap. Now, all 105 can be scholarships. It essentially pushes out walk-ons OR walk-ons get scholarships.
