"Illinois AD Josh Whitman said the team is not planning to fund 105 football scholarships."I also will tell you from the conversations I've had that I've not heard from one school that is planning to be at the 105 level. I don't think that would make us an outlier."
This isn’t surprising. Many people don’t understand that for every new scholarship added over the current 85 limit it reduces the amount of NIL compensation schools can pay athletes (if the House settlement is approved). Better to stay at 85 scholarships and pay those 85 more.
