Nebraska has to be at 105 plus designated student-athletes (grandfathered players) by EOD 8/27/25.
A designated student-athlete is "an individual who a member institution attests was or would have been removed from the institution’s 2025-26 roster due to the implementation of roster limits and was either: 1. Certified as eligible for practice or competition or otherwise placed on the institution’s squad list form for the 2024-25 academic year, prior to April 7, 2025, or 2. Recruited prior to April 7, 2025, to be, or was assured by an institutional staff member the individual would be, on the institution’s roster for the 2025-26 academic year. "
If a DSA gets aid or revenue sharing, it counts toward the pool cap even though they are not on the roster. They can, of course, play; they are on the roster. The roster exemption belongs to the player - for example, it transfers or departs with him. It may make players more desirable as other teams can transfer them in without using a roster spot. The July 6 designation is a one-time only event.
The DSAs must be designated by July 6th (30 days after the settlement was announced).
Nebraska, with 126 current roster spots, needs to designate 21 SAs. The pool of people we could designate, as it should be possible to attest that more than 21 athletes on this roster who have been cut.
Questions: would you simply go through the exerciser of deciding which 21 would be cut and turn in those names or would you employ a strategy more designed to maximize r
I'll start it off. I think I would designate 21 by using mostly guys destined for little PT put also putting in people who have been injured a lot (on the basis that with only 105 slots I couldn't afford to keep some of those guys on the roster - they might get injured again). I'd be afraid of putting too many guys in need of further development on the risk as it would simply make them more attractive to other teams. I would avoid putting guys with 4 years of eligibility on the list.
