There’s going to be big changes in the SEC as the conference brace themselves for the pandemonium that the NCAA’s new rule might be bringing. There has been talks about limiting the roster size to 85 players after the NCAA’s settlement agreement. While there is no final decision to this rule yet, it’s not sitting well with many people.
One of the HCs who took a strong stand against this rule to eliminate walk-ons is Texas A&M Aggies HC Mike Elko who argued that this rule is “something that’s really bad for the sport.” He openly displayed his disapproval saying, “I’m strongly against it. I think it’s absolutely against college football, what it stands for and what it’s about.” And he isn’t the only one who thinks this is an absurd rule.

This came after the NCAA and the Power five conferences locked a settlement agreement that allows schools to directly pay their student-athletes. The idea behind this is that a sort of cap is necessary for even balance between schools as there are only 85 full scholarships. After all, it’s going to depend on the programs how they’re going to distribute the money that’ll come from the NCAA settlement agreement.
