STILLWATER – As the college football media days continue this week in Charlotte, N.C. with the ACC and then in Indianapolis, Ind. on Tuesday, Wedensday, and Thursday the Big Ten will hold court.

I may be missing something, but it seems to me that with "NIL scholarships" like we're using for our 6th year OL players, it's difficult to set meaningful rules on roster numbers. I guess some tricky rules drafting attorney may pull it off but it will require blocking walk-ons seemingly. Otherwise, Gundy's use of NIL scholarships will continue and circumvent the new 105 or 110 limit. And other than where OSU is now, I didn't see the "surprising number Gundy prefers" in this story.

I don't think that roster limits is the same as scholarship limits.

Right now the "roster limit" is in a flux because of the COVID eligibility year so that's part of the enforcement mess,

otherwise, they could limit NIL scholarships via roster limit.

the new ruling apparently will put us a no roster limits.

They will need to subsequently pass NCAA rules about roster limits. (scholarship is completely different, and until specific wording is enacted, all the roster could be on scholarship, which is why there might not be walk-ons.
