The NCAA is reportedly making a change to the number of players a team can have on next season’s preseason roster.
According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports, the NCAA “is issuing a blanket waiver for FBS and FCS teams to increase the preseason practice/fall camp roster from 110 to 120 players.”

The NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight and Football Championship Subdivision Oversight Committee Administrative Subcommittee requested the roster increase, according to Nick Schultz of On3.
The change will mean teams can have more players on rosters leading into this season. Programs could look to the transfer portal more to fill the new holes on the team.

According to Jaron Spor of Sooners Wire, it’s unclear if the NCAA’s new ruling specifies for scholarship or walk-on players.
The new ruling will be considered for permanent status later this summer, according to Yahoo! Sports.
