“According to a Yahoo Sports calculation, there are about 500 scholarships available in all sports in the current NCAA model. Under the new roster limits, that number is now at more than 1,200.”
What does this mean, if anything, for Furman Athletics, FCS Football, and specifically, Furman Football?
2) Same basic question about this…
The attorneys general of Montana and South Dakota are contemplating taking legal action to challenge aspects of the House v. NCAA settlement deal.
“The settlement is unfair to Montana universities,” a spokesperson for Montana attorney general Austin Knudsen said. “We are looking into what legal actions we can take.”
The state’s two Division I universities, Montana and Montana State, compete in the FCS-level Big Sky Conference, while South Dakota has two D-I FCS schools that compete in the Summit Conference.
A spokesperson for South Dakota attorney general Marty Jackley said his office is also “looking at available options regarding the NCCA lawsuit and settlement.”
As drafted, the settlement would require the non-power conference schools—such as those in Montana and South Dakota—to give up $990 million in NCAA distributions, over the next decade, in order to pay NIL “back damages” that would primarily go to former power-conference football and basketball players.
