25 Signee Limit: Probation For 5 Star Teams?

So basically they're eliminating blue shirts and grey shirts, correct?

those and if your roster is at 55, you can still only sign 25. not 30 to get back to 85

That's what it looks like to me..it's the initially signed and two years with a team part that confuses me..it looks like teams will be able to give scholys beyond 25 to transfers and JUCOs and former walkons

They were talking about it on SportsTalk this morning that there was now a hard 25 rule starting this year.

From NCAA article

Football Bowl Subdivision schools are limited to signing 25 prospective and current student-athletes to a first-time financial aid agreement or a National Letter of Intent. Exceptions exclude current student-athletes who have been enrolled full-time at the school for at least two years and prospective or current student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury (effective for recruits who sign after Aug. 1, 2017).

It clearly says players who stay for at least 2 years are exempt. So having players leave early for the draft only hurts you if they were juco players

You're misunderstanding what that line means.

The "two years" line means that if you award a scholarship to a walk-on that has already been in the program for two years, he counts against the 85, but not against the 25 signees. This rule allows a school to reward a walk-on with a scholarship, but eliminates the "blue shirt" when a player shows up on the first day of classes and is given an "extra" scholarship.

The medical line means that if a player suffers a career-ending injury as a high school senior, you can honor the scholarship without it counting against the 25 or the 85.

How do injuries to current players count?

Continue on scholie, doesn't count against 85, but can't be replaced or can?

If you have a career-ending injury, you're no longer one of the 85, that's the way it has always been. No change in the rule there.

But no, you don't get to sign an extra player to replace them. Still a hard 25 player signing cap.
