I respectfully disagree…BB will recruit at a far higher level than Lovie. He’ll handle the X’s and O’s, while delegating the other stuff to his staff. Pretty much the opposite of the Sanders arrangement in Colorado. There will be high school and transfer prospects lining up to play under arguably, the greatest football coach in modern history.
These days NCAA FB is more than 75% recruiting
Men's lacrosse was limited to 12.6 scholarships for a 40+ roster before recent NCAA changes. If they have raised the number to 48 , that would possibly mean a full scholarship for every player-there are very few programs that will or can do that.
Does the NCAA/Title IX require the same number of scholarship recipients(partial and full) or the amount of scholarship money to be equal between men and women?
I think it is even worse than that is that the number of athletic scholarships has to be proportional with the student population so if a school has 60% women, 60% of athletic scholarships have to be to women. Since most schools tend to have more women students than men students these days, title 9 requires even more woman athletic scholarships than mens. Throw in that many schools have FB programs that give out a lot of scholarships (85 scholarships or potentially even more now for D1) with no corresponding sport on the women's side and the result has been devastation of men's sports outside of FB and BB. (which basically pay for everything else)
Because FB basically pays for everything else (and there is no corresponding women's sport) it would seem fair that those scholarhips should not have to be offset. (or at least a good number of them) It would seem to be a logical way to protect other men's sports
