Q: Other than the 85 NCAA allowed football scholarships, are 15 more allowed for a freshman class or are there no variables? How exactly does it work? — William



A: The maximum number of football scholarships a Division I school can offer is 85, according to NCAA rules, and that includes no more than 25 scholarships in each class (also known as the 85/25 rule). If you were at the spring game, you probably noticed that the roster was significantly smaller than one you'd find during the regular season, and that's because many of the incoming freshmen haven't arrived on campus yet.
