Title: Roster Limits?
Post by: leever on December 28, 2011, 09:21:53 AM
Just curious----

Is there any limit to the number of players that you can carry on a college roster?

Syracuse lists 20 players on their roster and 18 of them actually played in their last game on 12/22 against Tulane!

I don't think roster size is limited... scholarships max out at 13, however.  So in theory, I think you could have a roster of 30, as long as 17 are walk-ons.

Unless you're UConn! ;D

Don't the military acadamies have a bunch of players on their roster?

I believe the only limitation the NCAA enforces on roster size is with scholarships.  I think, and do not have enough time to investigate, there may be a limitation to the number of players allowed to suit up or play in a game.  If memory serves, that number is 15 - but again, I have not verified.

UWM had 16 players suited up when they played us.

I saw a couple in warm-ups that were not suited up (McCallum being one).  Similar to Cadougan and DJO when they sat out.  Were you counting them?

If I am not mistaken, all the students at the military academies are already on a full ride, so techinically, they are all walk-ons.

They list 17 on their roster.  At least 2 are redshirting (Marshall and Utoff).  So, the 17 suiting up is not accurate.

I think there is a limit to how many can travel.

During warm-ups it just seemed that they had a ton of guys, so we counted...16.
