    NCAA Over the roster limits? 5 years? timing?

    I think you are correct, its pretty much a certainty (since the judge clearly stated she wanted to see that) that some form of grandfathering will occur. I still feel pretty confident that the settlement will still go into effect in July. But it is starting to bump into the danger zone...

    Parents Change of scenery

    I guess I would ask, what do you think you should be getting from the current gym/coaching (and I don't mean that to sound sassy)? 12 is often a crossroads point in many gymnastics journies. Definitely see a lot of girls in this age range that leave the sport. Are you, or more specifically...

    NCAA Thoughts on player compensation, roster limits, House settlement, etc.

    Here's some background information "Differences in budget mean differences in reality in NCAA gymnastics". Bottom line, decoupling big-time sports from the non-revenue sports would be net-negative for these sports.

    NCAA Thoughts on player compensation, roster limits, House settlement, etc.

    And if you leave that decision up to a college that has now decoupled its "professional" program and is no longer obligated to support the non-revenue sports, do you think its possible they wont? I am sure some will, but many wont, and those programs would be cut and less opportunities. I...

    NCAA Thoughts on player compensation, roster limits, House settlement, etc.

    And when was the last time you saw Brown football play on prime-time national television on Saturday night? Yes, the Ivies are unique as well as the lower divisions. They don't have the sport palaces, the armies of support staff, etc. This is all about the major conferences. The genie is out...

    NCAA Thoughts on player compensation, roster limits, House settlement, etc.

    The problem is, how are you going to fund the non-revenue sports?

    NCAA Thoughts on player compensation, roster limits, House settlement, etc.

    The general idea of athletes getting compensated I am all for, with an asterisk. The asterisk is for that I believe this only applies to the P5 conferences. There is no doubt over the last 10 years sports in these conferences has become big business. Billion dollar TV contracts, multi-million...

    Parents Balancing gym with school

    TLDR version: You have to decide what works best for you, your daughter and your family. There are no right or wrong paths, just opinions, and an almost infinite number of combinations that allow your child to balance school and gym. Always trade-offs, but those trade-offs are valued...

    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    Short answer, and I am only giving my non-insider opinion, I think schools might be willing to take a 2026 now that would put them over the cap. Of course it would probably be a case by case type situation, with that school. They may only be over the roster cap for an extra year or two...

    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    Yep, I think that was the NCAA argument - that coaches will and have already made moves through the normal course of roster management and that it is an issue that kinda resolves itself. And it really is only a potentially small subset of student athletes that it impacts. And its SOOOOO hard to...

    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    Ya, looks like the roster cap will be phased in, so I imagine over the next 4 years athletes currently on the roster will be allowed to not count against cap? Still, does this affect future recruits in some way? I guess they would also have to change the scholarship plans too?

    NCAA Clemson coach let go and others not renewed..thoughts

    As far as replacements, I dont see them poaching any head coach of a team in the top 20. I can see them going after some assistants at major programs that are ready for a HC job.

    NCAA Clemson coach let go and others not renewed..thoughts

    I do know Eric is well liked by a lot of the club coaches and recruits. It might like a Georgia situation, not that I think they make him head coach, but keep him to hold together the recruits and current roster. Of course we don't know the basis of letting her go and if he is included in said...
