Stressed athletes and coaches wait as deadline nears to solve NCAA’s ‘changing’ roster limits issue

U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken has delayed approval of the $2.8 billion House vs. NCAA settlement due to unresolved roster limit issues.
The settlement aims to increase scholarships from 85 to 105 but would cap football team rosters at 105, well below some teams' 120 or more players.
Athletes on fringe roster spots feel stress and uncertainty about cuts, with several entering transfer portals while coaches face difficult roster decisions.
Noah Henderson, a sport management director, and others advocate for phased roster limits and grandfathering current players to ease transitions and allow natural restructuring.
If resolved, the settlement would benefit thousands of athletes with back pay for missed NIL opportunities and revenue sharing, but failure risks reducing Division I opportunities, especially for walk-ons and non-revenue sports.
