Friday Flakes: College Football Roster Caps Could Be Between 100 and 110 - Should Help Nebraska

Pete Thamel of ESPN has been reporting on the settlement discussions involving the potential move toward Universities directly compensating players.

It looks like some common sense has shown up as a potential roster cap number I heard was 85 which appeared to me to be ridiculous.

Thankfully it appears that the discussion is now looking at roster sizes of 100 to 110.

*The range of roster limits being discussed is between 100 and 110, with the Big Ten lobbying for the higher side of that range. There’s discussion of a “phase in” on this, so teams with giant rosters – think 130/140 – potentially don’t have to make immediate giant cuts for 2025.
