Not entirely sure what the rule adjustment is, but for the time being the total number of scholarships doesn’t matter. Correct?

My understanding is that this year doesn’t count towards eligibility. So technically one of the 2020 freshmen could play in all 10 games, then play in four in 2021, and enter the 2022 season as a RS freshman. Weird.

Not sure if I missed something, but isn’t Jaylen Mayfield back in?

Oh never mind. I figured it out.

Doesn’t this year not count for eligibility? So guys like Ben Mason, Chris Evans, Carlo Kemp could all stay for another year if they wanted?
Any chance scholarship limits are changed for 2021 due to the number of players who didn’t exhaust their eligibility?
