Roster sizes in college football could be significantly reduced as part of a new proposal related to athlete compensation.
Per Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, the proposal being considered by power conference leaders would limit rosters to potentially as few as 85 to 95 players.
Dellenger noted the concept was brought up as "part of what could be a sweeping and historic transformation" within college sports based on settlement agreements for the three antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA.
"Any settlement of these cases—House, Hubbard and Carter—is expected to feature as much as $2.9 billion in back damages for former players, a future revenue sharing model with current athletes and an overhaul of the NCAA scholarship and roster structure," Dellenger wrote.
