This does not mean a college will go over the limit of maximum scholarships. Each school will decide how many scholarships they can fund for each team depending on their budget. For recruits pursuing an athletic scholarship, hopefully this means the maximum, and possibly over the maximum number of scholarships, will be available for the school year. The determining factor is whether or not a school can afford to give scholarships over the maximum.
Recruits will need to re-evaluate their list of target schools to widen their college search geographically and consider programs across all division levels. Recruits who are set on competing at the D1 level should expand their search to include D2 and competitive NAIA programs.
Student-athletes looking to attend college in a certain region of the country should expand their search to include other regions, as well. Recruits who planned on receiving an athletic scholarship should look into other alternatives to cover college costs, such as merit-based scholarships, grants, work study and etc.
Recruits will also need to be prepared for a delayed recruiting process. As college coaches navigate the new NCAA recruiting rules, they will need to work with current roster spot holders to determine which athletes plans to take advantage of their extra year of eligibility.
Coaches will need to know which athletes plans to return for additional year in order to understand how many roster spots will be available for the incoming class.
With no rules set around when student-athletes must make this decision, college coaches may have to delay their recruiting process as they wait for these decisions to be made. During the recruiting process, recruits should proactively reach out to college coaches to see if they know how many seniors plan to return and what roster availability looks like for the coming year.
Keep in mind that coaches may not always be able to provide an answer, but it allows the recruit to show their interest in the program, while also helping them evaluate whether the program is still a realistic college option. Some student-athletes may choose alternative options to attending a four-year college or university as they wait to see the full impact of the pandemic on college athletics.
Some of these options include taking a gap year or attending a Junior College and transferring to a four-year institution. Women's Sports. Coed Sports.

Players will now enjoy more rights and benefits than they have in the past. After an off-season full of deliberation, the NCAA has announced two major rule changes while more changes are still under deliberation.
The first rule change announced by the NCAA is related to the process through which student-athletes seek to transfer from their current university. This means that a student-athlete is forced to have a very uncomfortable conversation with their head coach without even knowing if they will be able to attain any scholarship offers from other universities.
Coaches and administrators hold a lot of leverage over student-athletes under the current process as they were able to block players from transferring to specific schools or, in the most extreme of cases, all schools.
Such occurrences were very common but one case that always stuck with me was when former Kansas State wide receiver Corey Sutton decided he wanted to finish his career elsewhere. Sutton presented a list of 35 potential transfer institutions to Head Coach Bill Snyder. None of the schools listed were conference mates or future opponents. Nonetheless, Bill Snyder blocked Sutton from receiving a scholarship at all 35 schools until rampant press and social media pressure caused Snyder to change his tune and grant Sutton a full release.
Starting October 15th, players will enjoy much more freedom to transfer outside of their current institutions. Once the new rule goes into effect student-athletes will simply need to inform their current university that they would like to pursue a transfer. Previous template Next.
