The NCAA has reportedly moved closer to expanding the football signing class limit, in a move that comes with a one-year waiver.

An updated change, as reported by Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated, is that teams can replace any 7 players who enter the portal, even if they’re dismissed. However, those that leave for the NFL or retire can’t be replaced. The December signing period will be the key date for players entering the portal, and after up to 7 can be replaced.

For example, a school that loses five players to the portal can sign 30 new players. A school that loses 10 players to the portal can sign 32 new signees, if the cap were seven.

This comes as a result of policy changes that are leaving — and will leave — many schools well short of the overall 85 scholarship limit. While schools are limited to having 85 scholarship players a year, they are restricted to signing 25 players in a single class. The 100 signees over four years leaves a 15-player wiggle room for natural attrition.
