Explaining news with five takeawaysfrom @d1scholarship

Alright. So the NCAA Worse settlement happened earlier this week, and it's gonna completely change the landscape for both college sports and college recruiting. Here are five quick takeaways that I've been thinking about. The first takeaway is that college recruiting is gonna get insanely competitive. And if you've been in the recruiting process for six months or a year, then you know that it's already harder than it was in 2024 or 2023. That is only gonna get worse in later 2025, tier, and beyond. It's just simple economics. If you reduce the supply of something, the demand surges. So when they reduce the number of roster spots, it is going to get insanely competitive. Now the second takeaway is for those who do get those spots, the rewards are gonna be greater than ever. Players are gonna get more money, they're gonna get more playing tier, it's just gonna be better overall. It's just that those spots are really hard to get. Third takeaway is that you're gonna see some division one schools leave division one. We've already seen this with Saint Francis, who is a division one school in Pennsylvania. They are reclassifying to the division three level because they don't want to play a game that they can't win, and I think that tier are gonna be other d one schools who are gonna follow suit. Takeaway number four is give college coaches some grace. They are trying to navigate this new landscape just like you are. They have to make decisions about recruits and their teams and their rosters without knowing how many players they're actually gonna be allowed to have. They have to make hard decisions and have hard conversations, and tell players that they've already given offers to, that they can no longer honor those offers. It's really difficult for them. Give college coaches some grace. And finally, those who are willing and able to adapt will have an advantage. Anytime that you have a dramatic landscape shift, and this is true in any industry, there are gonna be the majority of those who are gonna get completely crushed by it, and then there's gonna be a few select who can navigate the chaos and capitalize on the opportunity. The families that are able to willing and adapt to this are gonna see greater rewards than ever before rank have access to opportunities that others only dream of. But if you treat the recruiting process like it's 2023 or 2022 or, Good forbid, like tier, then you're gonna have a really hard time. It'll be really interesting to see if this is upheld and how this is implemented in college sports and in college recruiting.
