The 25-man limit per class is no more (for now).
The 25-man scholarship signing class limit has been removed after being approved by the Division I Council on Wednesday, paving the way for schools to sign more — and maybe a lot more — than the typical 25-player class as programs play catch-up from the ongoing impact of the pandemic and the transfer portal. The decision is effective for the next two academic years.
With the one-time transfer waiver wreaking havoc on programs across the country, schools have scrambled at times to fill out rosters and been forced to get aggressive in the transfer portal to either fill spots or been left in a spot where they simply do not have the numbers.
