College football: New Roster limits

Lets call it the Big Reshuffle.

All 6 Levels of College Football will impacted by the new roster limits.

Soon FBS rosters will be capped at 105 players. This means over 3,000 FBS players will be told they have to find a new home. To compound matters, currently the 129 FCS, 162 D2, 97 NAIA, 243 D3 and 147 JUCO teams have scant ability to expand their rosters.

This New FBS Roster limit will ignite a chain reaction of players moving to different levels of college football in order to find a place to play.

The landscape of college football is dramatically changed. The days of the FBS Walk-On is essentially over. The lower levels of College Football will be injected with a level of talent unseen before and High School Players will be forced to be more realistic about which level of CFB is a fit for them.

A ton of chatter out there about the Portal, NIL$, and Collectives, but often its the least talked about things that have the most impact.

QB Spotlight or No?

Your choice, but every college coach knows how to locate the QB on film, so spotlights are not needed

Music

Remember your audience! If you do add music make sure the lyrics are clean and positive.
